Why the study?
Does preoperative screening, diagnosis, and treatment correct micronutrient deficiencies in bariatric surgery candidates?
Does preoperative screening, diagnosis, and treatment correct micronutrient deficiencies in bariatric surgery candidates?
Preoperative micronutrient correction in bariatric candidates may be feasible; leaves open whether it improves outcomes or warrants practice change.
Bariatric surgery candidates often show preoperative micronutrient deficiency. Although it is documented that a comprehensive micronutrient assessment should be conducted preoperatively to correct the deficiencies before surgery, no previous studies have been effective in correcting deficiencies in sufficient time prior to surgery. Our aim was to identify micronutrient deficiencies preoperatively and correct them before surgery.
