The Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) developed a public tool, the Bariatric Surgical Risk/Benefit Calculator, to evaluate short-term surgery risks and long-term benefits for prospective adult bariatric surgery patients. This study assessed the calculator’s performance in predicting 1-year remission of comorbidities. The results indicate that the calculator effectively predicts comorbidity remission, offering a valuable resource for enhancing patient-clinician discussions and informed consent in clinical practice.
