ABSTRACT:

Context

Few studies have examined the clinical characteristics that predict durable, long-term diabetes remission after bariatric surgery.

Objective

Design

Setting

Ten US hospitals.

Participants

A total sample of 2256 participants, 827 with known diabetes status at both baseline and at least 1 follow-up visit.
