Abstract
The results of this study can be used to help guide the planning of future pragmatic weight-related trials. This study provides evidence that body weight measurements abstracted from the EHR can provide valid, efficient, and cost-effective data to estimate treatment effects from randomized clinical weight loss and weight management trials. However, care should be taken to properly understand the data-generating process and any mechanisms that may affect the validity of these estimates.
