About
Dr. Jose Malavet is a clinician-researcher whose work focuses on perioperative risk stratification and respiratory safety in bariatric surgery patients. His primary research areas include postoperative respiratory complications, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in surgical populations, and the application of predictive scoring systems to improve patient outcomes. Dr. Malavet’s most notable contribution is his work on the PRODIGY Score, a validated tool for predicting opioid-induced respiratory depression in patients monitored by capnography. In his 2025 study, “Risk stratification for postoperative hypoxemia among bariatric surgery patients,” he demonstrated how this score can be used to identify high-risk patients with obesity and OSA, enabling targeted monitoring and early intervention. With 3 citations to date, this work is gaining recognition for its practical impact on reducing postoperative hypoxemia. Dr. Malavet’s research bridges the gap between predictive analytics and bedside care, offering a tangible framework for improving safety in a vulnerable surgical population. His findings are particularly relevant for anesthesiologists, bariatric surgeons, and perioperative medicine specialists seeking to reduce respiratory complications in patients with obesity.
