Summary

This study tested a new scoring system called BARSCORE to predict how much vitamin, mineral, and protein supplementation patients need after bariatric surgery. Researchers analyzed data from over 4,500 patients who had surgery between 2015 and 2021. The goal was to create a simple, reliable tool to help doctors personalize nutritional follow-up and prevent deficiencies.
