Metabolic and bariatric surgery in China: A summary of the Greater China Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Database and comparison with other international registry databases

Abstract

By establishing comprehensive national registries such as the GC-MBD, real-world information can be gathered on clinical practice and patient outcomes. Insights into variations in clinical practice can be identified by comparing reports from different countries, which can help in making and evaluating healthcare policies on the best clinical practices at a national level.
