Background Risk prediction models are useful tools for informing patients undergoing bariatric surgery about their risk for complications and correcting outcome reports. The aim of this study is to externally validate risk models assessing complications after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) surgery.
