1. Sourcing
Content is drafted from peer-reviewed literature, society guidelines (ADA, AACE, ASMBS, IFSO, EASD), and regulatory documents (FDA, EMA, COFEPRIS). Preference is given to systematic reviews, randomized trials, and long-term cohort studies.
2. Writing
Drafts are written by medical writers with training in clinical research. Copy is factual and non-promotional; superlatives, outcome guarantees, and emotional appeals are avoided.
3. Medical review
Every clinical page is reviewed by a board-certified bariatric or metabolic surgeon before publication. The reviewer, specialty, and review date appear at the bottom of the page.
4. Updates
- Every page is re-reviewed at least every 12 months.
- Content is updated sooner when new guidelines or major trials publish.
- Revisions are logged and the "last reviewed" date is updated.
5. Corrections
Readers who identify errors can contact the editorial team. Verified corrections are made promptly and noted in the page history when material.
