BACKGROUND: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into medical practice opens up new frontiers for decision support, especially in intricate surgical procedures like one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB). This study was designed to showcase...
BACKGROUND: This study was conducted to assess the association between lifestyle risk factors (LRF) and odds of binge eating disorder (BED) 2 years post laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) using lifestyle score (LS) and machine learning (ML) models...
BACKGROUND: With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) in medical education, tools like OpenAI's ChatGPT-4 and DALL·E 3 have potential applications in enhancing learning materials. This study aims to evaluate ChatGPT-4o's proficiency in recognizin...
PURPOSE: Although noninvasive tests can be used to predict liver fibrosis, their accuracy is limited for patients with severe obesity and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We developed machine learning (ML) models to predict significant liver...
PURPOSE: Metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) became integral to managing severe obesity. Understanding surgical risks associated with MBS is crucial. Different scores, such as the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Pr...
BACKGROUND: The utility of preoperative abdominal ultrasonography (US) in evaluating patients with obesity before metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) remains ambiguously defined.
PURPOSE: The utilization rate of robotic surgery for bariatric procedures is not well-described. Our study identified the proportion of metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) procedures in the United States between 2015 and 2020 performed using a robo...
BACKGROUND: Traditional risk models, such as POSSUM and OS-MS, have limited accuracy in predicting complications after bariatric surgery. Machine learning (ML) offers new opportunities for personalized risk assessment by incorporating artificial inte...
BACKGROUND: Proximal Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is commonly used to manage obesity, performed using laparoscopic or robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery. As the prevalence of robotic bariatric surgery increases, further data is required to justify...
