Association Between Edmonton Obesity Staging System Severity and 90-Day Postoperative Complications After Primary Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery: A Retrospective Cohort Study
To evaluate the association between Edmonton Obesity Staging System (EOSS) severity and 90-day postoperative complications following metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) in a cohort with a high prevalence of advanced-stage disease.
Key Findings:
The study found an association between higher EOSS severity and increased rates of postoperative complications within 90 days after MBS.
Patients classified as EOSS stage 3 or 4 experienced significantly higher complication rates compared to those in lower stages.
Interpretation:
Limitations:
The study is retrospective, which may introduce biases in data collection and analysis.
The sample size of patients classified as EOSS stage 3 and 4 was limited, potentially affecting the robustness of the findings.
