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.
