Bariatric Surgery Registry

The primary aim of the Bariatric Surgery Registry is to measure outcomes for patients undergoing bariatric surgery across public and private hospitals in Australia and New Zealand. It is predominantly a quality and safety registry.

The Registry tracks the performance of hospitals, surgeons and devices.

The ability to track all persons undergoing bariatric procedures longitudinally offers an unprecedented opportunity to:

• Confirm the outcomes from clinical trials on bariatric surgery at a community level
• Measure the change in diabetes status over time in this population
• Translate these efficacy and health outcomes into practice guidelines
• Utilise the Registry as a resource for future research projects
