Patients with bariatric surgery: Urgent need for accurate registration of the contraindication to enable safe pharmacotherapy in hospital and primary care.

The percentage of correct registration of bariatric surgery in hospital, GP, and community pharmacies is low. To avoid doctors prescribing and pharmacists dispensing drugs to post-bariatric patients without knowing that they have undergone this procedure, better registration of the contraindication is required to enable optimal use of clinical decision support systems for the pharmacotherapy of patients after bariatric surgery.
