Cognition in patients with post‐bariatric hypoglycemia
Authors' conclusion
PBH+ individuals may be at greater risk for cognitive impairment compared with PBH- individuals, as suggested by impaired semantic processing and cognitive flexibility, as well as greater difficulty initiating and sustaining word retrieval.
