Gastric bypass surgery is opted for by people who want to lose weight. In this procedure, a part of the stomach is stapled and the intestine is attached to the other part so that a person is unable to eat more. Though this is a popular procedure, sometimes it is fatal for some patients. Duke University Medical Center surgeon, Eric DeMaria has developed a scoring system to predict the risks of patients in 2006. A study on 4,400 patients using the system has shown that this is very effective.
System Highlights

b. This is done on the basis of a patient's weight, gender, age, blood pressure and risk of developing blood clot in the lungs.

d. It will help surgeons take a better decision.
e. It will help immensely in the outcome of the surgery.
