Adaptation and Application of a Patient Satisfaction Survey in a Bariatric Ambulatory Surgery Center: Four-Year Outcomes.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPatient satisfaction is a widely used indicator of healthcare quality. As surgeries increasingly transition from hospitals to ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs), assessing patient satisfaction in these settings has gained importance. However, there is no standardized tool tailored to bariatric ASCs. This study aims to evaluate a patient satisfaction survey adapted for the ASC setting, reflecting its same-day workflow, postoperative timing, and consistent care environment.
methodsData were retrospectively analyzed from a prospectively maintained database over a four-year period from a single ASC. The survey, designed to assess five key components of satisfaction: arrival/reception, staff communication, environment, overall care, and discharge, was administered within 24 h, postoperatively. The cohort included 467 patients undergoing bariatric and concomitant surgeries, including sleeve gastrectomy, duodenal switch, adjustable gastric band removal, and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, along with hiatal hernia repair and other foregut procedures.
resultsThe cohort had a mean age of 43 ± 10.5 years, BMI of 38.4 ± 5.2 kg/m
conclusionThis study demonstrates that the tailored patient satisfaction survey effectively captures experiences in bariatric ASCs, with high satisfaction scores correlating with low complication rates and safe outcomes.
