Abstract

Administrative databases have been increasingly used to assess bariatric surgery outcomes resulting in policy recommendations about bariatric practice. Surgical outcomes must be risk adjusted in order to fairly compare patients of varying potential risk to those for whom policies will apply. To date, the risk adjustment tools used for database analysis of bariatric surgical outcomes have been ones designed for other purposes and their sensitivity for bariatric outcomes have not been established.
