A decade of progress: Declining readmissions for dehydration and acute kidney injury after bariatric surgery.

Key takeaways

This study looked at national data from 2015 to 2023. It found that fewer people were readmitted to the hospital for dehydration and kidney injury after weight loss surgery. It shows a link between better care and fewer hospital visits. It does not prove that the surgery itself causes the improvement.
