Characterization of trends in preoperative hemoglobin A1c testing prior to metabolic and bariatric surgery: a retrospective, observational study
Despite society recommendations endorsing measurement of preoperative A1C prior to MBS, less than half of patients undergoing MBS between 2017 and 2022 received a preoperative A1C test. Additionally, there were differential patterns in testing based on diabetes status. Preoperative glycemic evaluation is an area for continued quality improvement.
