Exploring perioperative outcomes in metabolic and bariatric surgery amongst the elderly: an analysis of the 2015-2017 MBSAQIP database.

Background: Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is increasingly performed in patients >65 years. Studies of perioperative outcomes have shown equivocal results.

Objectives: Our study objective was to explore perioperative outcomes in elderly MBS patients compared with those <65 years.

Racial disparities in perioperative outcomes after metabolic and bariatric surgery: a case-control matched study.

Background: Metabolic and bariatric surgery remains a safe and effective treatment for severe obesity. Ethnic minorities are disproportionately affected by obesity but are less likely to undergo metabolic and bariatric surgery. There remains controversy about outcomes among black patients compared with other ethnic groups after bariatric surgery.

Exploring racial disparity in perioperative outcomes following revisional bariatric surgery: A case-control matched analysis.

Introduction: Bariatric surgery is associated with 20-30% weight recidivism. As a result, revisional bariatric operation is increasingly performed. Disparity in bariatric outcomes remains controversial and very little is known about revisional bariatric surgery outcomes in ethnic cohorts.
