About
Jeffrey Weiss is a clinical researcher whose work centers on perioperative risk assessment, with a particular focus on respiratory complications in patients with obesity and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). His most notable contribution is the development and validation of the PRODIGY Score—a predictive tool for opioid-induced respiratory depression in patients monitored by capnography. This risk stratification model, detailed in his 2025 study on bariatric surgery patients, addresses the critical challenge of postoperative hypoxemia in a high-risk population. By integrating capnography monitoring with clinical variables, Weiss’s work provides anesthesiologists and surgeons with a practical framework to anticipate and prevent life-threatening respiratory events. His research, which has already garnered early citations, bridges a gap between obesity medicine, sleep disorders, and perioperative safety. Weiss’s contributions are particularly timely given the rising prevalence of bariatric surgery and the need for precision-based risk tools. His work not only enhances patient safety but also sets a foundation for future studies in respiratory depression prediction across surgical specialties.
