Metabolic adaptation
Bariatric surgery was associated with a lower incidence of cardiovascular mortality, with an adjusted hazard ratio of 0.35.
Bariatric surgery may lead to lower rates of death from cardiovascular causes in this population.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Surgery was also associated with a lower incidence of cardiovascular mortality (HR, 0.35 [95% CI, 0.15–0.80]; P =0.001).
Why this rating
The study employs a robust cohort design.
