The Effect of Attrition on Reported Diabetes Remission Rates Following Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: a Sensitivity Analysis

Objective Attrition, or loss to follow-up, is a common problem in studies of type 2 diabetes remission following roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and is often correlated with weight loss. Thus, reported rates of remission may be inflated by attrition bias. We investigate the effect of attrition bias on reported diabetes remission rates following RYGB.
