Description
Beatriz Böger and co-authors audit weight-loss surgery costs in a 2024 Brazilian study. Grouping patients by diagnosis-related groups lets a health plan compare cost and care fairly across hospitals. The team reviews over 1,400 patients who had metabolic and bariatric surgery across four hospitals over four years.
Most patients are women in their late thirties with severe obesity, and nearly nine in ten receive a gastric bypass. In-hospital complications are uncommon, though bleeding and leaks appear, and one patient dies. About five percent return within a month. The authors total the full cost of care to guide plan management.
