NCT ID NCT03556995

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked back at the records of over 9,000 people who had weight-loss (bariatric) surgery. The goal was to find factors that might predict bleeding during or within 30 days after surgery. By identifying these risk factors, doctors hope to create a score that can help prevent bleeding complications in the future.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a simple score to predict bleeding risk in bariatric surgery, helping surgeons take extra precautions.

What could go wrong

This is a retrospective study, so it can only find associations, not prove cause and effect. The score may not work for all patients or hospitals.
