A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to create a central database to analyze clinical parameters of patients with morbid obesity, focusing on the impact of bariatric surgery on lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). It will compare outcomes between patients receiving invasive bariatric treatment and those who do not at Prince of Wales Hospital and CUHK Medical Centre. Additionally, the study will benchmark results against other bariatric surgery centers in Hong Kong and international databases to assess performance. The goal is to provide insights into the effectiveness of bariatric surgery in improving both weight management and associated urinary symptoms.
