Summary

ABSTRACT Obesity is, nowadays, a pandemic. The treatment of patients affected by obesity is very complex and requires the synergy of a multidisciplinary team that addresses the problem in its different spheres. Among the available treatment options, surgery remains the most effective in the long term. Among surgical techniques, there are different types based on different mechanisms. Among them, hypoabsorptive techniques, which are the most effective, can lead to malnutrition and vitamin deficiencies, so the creation of a standardized score -similar to Clavien-Dindo- could be a simple, reproducible tool with sufficient clinical relevance to allow comparison of nutritional outcomes between different surgical techniques.

Hypothesis: The BARSCORE score will allow estimation of supplementation needs for vitamins, micronutrients and proteins after bariatric surgery.

Objectives: To validate a score in bariatric surgery that grades supplementation needs by relating them to patient characteristics and the proposed surgical technique.

Methodology: observational, longitudinal, multicenter study. The study sample will consist of patients who underwent bariatric surgery between January 2015 and December 2021 in participating centers (Appendix 1).

Patients will be divided into three groups based on the surgery performed and the score will be applied. Subsequently, surveys will be conducted to evaluate the score and cases for applying the score.

For statistical analysis, Spearman's correlation test will be used to verify the consistency of the score and a two-way ANOVA analysis to measure its concordance.
