RiMini Trial: Baseline Characteristics for Ring-Augmented vs. Conventional Gastric Bypass

Baseline characteristics for 214 patients in the RiMini randomized controlled trial comparing ring-augmented and conventional one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB). The dataset was created by Maureen Tissink and contains data from patients enrolled between July 2022 and December 2023. It reports short-term outcomes including peri-operative safety and one-year weight loss results.

Use Cases

• Compare baseline patient demographics between surgical groups based on age, gender, and BMI mentioned in the description.
• Analyze short-term weight loss outcomes based on reported %TWL and %EWL metrics at one year.
• Assess peri-operative and postoperative complication rates based on Clavien-Dindo classifications mentioned in the results.
• Study the safety profile of a novel surgical technique (ring-augmented OAGB) compared to a conventional procedure.

Strengths

• Data originates from a randomized controlled trial, a rigorous study design.
• Includes 214 patient records with 107 patients in each treatment arm.
• Reports specific, quantified outcomes such as mean operation time (51 minutes) and one-year weight loss percentages.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small (9.5 KB), indicating limited scope and likely a small number of variables.
