Bariatric Surgery Data Management and Reporting Worldwide

  • Chapter
Obesity, Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery

Abstract

The prevalence of overweight and obesity is increasing globally. The total number of bariatric procedures being performed worldwide has increased exponentially. There is an increasing need to develop strategies for effective data collection and analysis to provide benchmarks for surgical outcomes and reassurance for patients. Clinical registries serve as a portal that can facilitate this process.

In this chapter, we discuss the importance of clinical registry and how a registry can be set up. We review the pitfalls in registry-based data and the lessons learnt from previous or historical bariatric registries.
