Researchers analyzed data from two randomized clinical trials to assess the feasibility of using the Swiss-Finnish Bariatric Metabolic Outcome Score (SF-BARI score) as a standardized tool for measuring outcomes in metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS). They found that the SF-BARI score, which includes measures of weight loss, comorbidities, complications, and quality of life, was correlated with other outcome measures and demonstrated differences between surgical procedures and over time. These findings suggest that the SF-BARI score is a simple and relevant tool for defining and measuring MBS outcomes.
