Department of Surgery, University of California, Box 956904, 72-251 Center for Health Sciences, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA.
Background: Although it is well known that obesity is a risk factor for gastrointestinal (GI) cancer, it is not well established if obesity can cause earlier GI cancer onset.
Methods: A cross-sectional study examining the linked 2004-2008 California Cancer Registry Patient Discharge Database was performed to evaluate the association between obesity and onset age among four gastrointestinal cancers, including esophageal, gastric, pancreatic, and colorectal cancers. Regression models were constructed to adjust for other carcinogenic factors.

Center for Advanced Surgical and Interventional Technology (CASIT), University of California Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, USA.
Background: Compromised access following bariatric centers-or-excellence designations may have led to increased incidence of non-index readmissions and worsened care fragmentation. We seek to evaluate risk factors and impact of non-index readmissions on short-term mortality during readmission using a national bariatric registry data from 2015.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed using a national clinical database.
