Authors' objectives:
Does bariatric surgery have a positive effect on mortality and sequelae of obesity, compared with other treatments, or no treatment?
Authors' recommendations:
It is previously well documented that bariatric surgery is effective in terms of sustained weight reduction.There is, albeit with low level of evidence, support for a positive effect in terms of mortality rate and diabetes.The prerequisites to be able to conduct rigorous randomized trials are considered small.Complication risks are judged to be reasonable in comparison with benefits of the intervention.There is a displacement problem regarding other surgical care.
