Descripción
Sumario:This study highlights the use of REDCap as an effective tool for the clinical follow-up of bariatric surgery patients. By manually entering data from medical records spanning 2000 to 2020, the study provides insights into REDCap’s capabilities in organizing and analyzing large datasets. Key findings demonstrate its value in monitoring weight changes, biochemical parameters, and adherence to supplementation protocols, contributing to improved patient management and research efficiency. While REDCap’s utility is clear, limitations include the retrospective and single-site nature of the study, which may affect generalizability. Future efforts will focus on expanding data collection and integrating the database into routine clinical workflows.
