Procedure Selection in Obesity and Metabolic Surgery Based on EOSS

The Edmonton Obesity Staging System (EOSS) is a more comprehensive measure of obesity-related diseases and predictor of mortality than body mass index (BMI) or waist circumference. Its application for the selection of obese patients for obesity surgery has been suggested. This study evaluates the role of the Edmonton Obesity Staging System (EOSS) in predicting postoperative outcome (next to the Clavien Dindo Classification) and 30-day mortality after metabolic surgery.
