Do social determinants of health impact on the safety of #BariatricSurgery ?

This study shows that:

⚠️ Higher-risk patients are more likely to be from counties with ⬇️ CHR

❌ CHR was not independently associated with 30-day complications

MBSAQIP data comparing lap vs. robotic #BariatricSurgery showed higher readmission and reoperation rates in robotic-assisted cases

Are we still expecting to overcome the learning curve?

🎯 PCSK9 is a protease that controls cholesterol and lipid particle transport to the liver.

🧪 This study shows that PCSK9 mRNA and protein in the liver might be associated with the degree of MASLD
