چکیده
Background Bariatric surgery is a rapidly diffusing innovation in the field of weight loss. We would expect improvement in quality indicators as more surgeries are performed. However, it is not known if this “practice makes perfect” trend holds for bariatric surgery. We examine three quality indicators for bariatric surgery: rate of surgical complications, death rate and rate of readmissions to a hospital within 30 days from discharge.
