Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of bariatric surgery (BS) on the severity of COVID-19 among patients in Italy during the spring outbreak of 2020.
- Researchers conducted a survey of 594 patients to compare COVID-19 incidence and symptoms between those who underwent BS and candidates waiting for the surgery.
- Results indicated that operated patients experienced fewer COVID-19 symptoms and complications compared to candidates for surgery, suggesting that BS may lead to milder COVID-19 infections among individuals with obesity.
