I know. I loved that - Roux Duodenal Switch.What in the hell is the Roux Duodenal Switch.
Plus Cottam is involved, I suspect a badly slanted approach to justify all the SADI-S he’s done even when coding them as a DS.
Data were used for a retrospective matched cohort from 815 patients who underwent a primary laparoscopic traditional DS or primary laparoscopic SADI-S from September 2011 through November 2019 by four surgeons. Data were obtained by matching DS patients to SADI-S patients of the same age, sex and body mass index. In addition, only patients who were out at least five years and had a minimum five-year follow-up were included in the study. There were 30 patients in each group.
Hmmm … they call this data mining (I call it cherry picking):
Because data can be adjusted to fit their perimeters.Why so? From what I read matched cohorts in all qualities except for the variable in question is a standard method. What do you find unusual?

I’m not a data specialist but I do know data can be adjusted to fit the criteria you want to prove.What method would you use, if not matched cohorts?

Re the observation "It's not accurate to compare same age/sex/BMI and yet have different lengths of time out from surgery"... I don't see that in the abstract... it just says they were at least 5 years out.
...
It does not state that they matched on years, only that the population was comprised of patients at least five years with at least one follow-up.
