| Abstract |
Obesity in pediatric patients is rising with nearly one third of children in the USA classified as overweight and up to 16-18% of the adolescent population obese with at least one comorbid condition. Consequently, bariatric procedures in this population have increased without consistent recommendations for follow-up and transition to adult providers. This review describes the known and potential long-term consequences of bariatric surgery in pediatric patients, reviews the current literature on transitions of care for adolescent patients with chronic illnesses. Additionally, this review summarizes recommendations from the literature for developing a standardized program for transitioning care for post-bariatric surgical patients and offers useful tools and guidelines for doing so. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 12 February 2018.
All research outputs
#13,889,808
of 23,023,224 outputs
Outputs from Obesity Surgery
#1,757
of 3,409 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#229,200
of 442,600 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Obesity Surgery
#23
of 49 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,023,224 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,409 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.8. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 442,600 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 49 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 51% of its contemporaries.
