N2 - Childhood obesity continues to be a significant public health concern, and metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is a contemporary intervention that remains underutilized. Records from the Kids’ Inpatient Database (KID) were analyzed from 2009 to 2016 were analyzed to evaluate utilization characteristics of pediatric MBS. Annual procedure rates increased from 2.98 to 4.94 per 100,000 US adolescents. White children received the highest proportion of MBS at all time points; however, significant increases were seen among Black and Hispanic children. Despite these increases, a disproportionate racial bias persists indicating a need for further provider education and research into the utilization gap for minority patients.
