The MBSAQIP has been used to evaluate risk and create risk models. Previous studies have determined what complications matter most. ⋯ There has been a continuous improvement in several (but not all) outcomes through the years that the MBSAQIP has been collecting data. Different outcomes were reduced between the SG and RYGB subgroups, and the decrease in all-cause mortality was only noted in the SG subgroup.

Resident burnout is associated with increased incidence of depression, suicide, and poor patient outcomes, yet identification of it is difficult. This study was designed to compare how well program directors (directors) and a resident's spouse or domestic partner (partner) can serve as a proxy to identify burnout in the resident. ⋯ Directors are not skilled in detecting burnout in their trainees. Partners are an underused group for detecting burnout and may represent an important target audience for awareness of available resources to benefit residents.
