Why the study?
Venous thromboembolism causes significant morbidity after bariatric surgery, leading authors to compare predictors of VTE after bariatric surgery across two national databases.
What are the predictors and trends of venous thromboembolism after bariatric surgery?
What are the predictors and trends of venous thromboembolism after bariatric surgery?
History of pulmonary embolism and increased age are critical risk factors for VTE after bariatric surgery, with the majority of VTE events occurring post-discharge.

Database discrepancies in post-bariatric VTE predictors and rates caution against sole NIS reliance; leaves open prospective validation of MBSAQIP-derived risks.
Leslie et al. (2025) studied this question.
