Abstract
The Bariatric Analysis and Reporting System (BAROS) uses a point scale (maximum score of 9) to evaluate weight loss, complications, improvement in medical conditions and quality of life among postoperative bariatric patients. The BAROS was originally developed to address the need for a standardized method of reporting open gastric bypass outcomes and has been shown to be both valid and reliable. We present the largest series to date on laparoscopic gastric bypass (LGB) outcome analysis using BAROS scores. In addition we examined the effect of age and sex on the BAROS score.
