Title: Building a risk prediction model for anastomotic leakage postoperative low rectal cancer
based on Lasso-Logistic regression
Version: 1 Date: 26 Mar 2025
Reviewer's report:
The authors attempted to build a nomogram prediction model for postoperative anastomotic
leakage risk in low rectal cancer using five parameters, and they claimed that their model has
high consistency and discrimination.
The study design was simple, and the results were well written in understandable English.
However, there are several points to be revised in this paper.
#1: What was the originality of this study? The authors should describe in more details.
#2: Discussion: They discussed on five parameters such as gender, NRS2002, prophylactic
ostomy, distance from tumor to anal margin and operation time. This part is too redundant for
readers.
#3: The authors should describe in more details how their nomogram improved short-term and
long-term (if possible) outcomes in patients undergoing low anterior resection for low rectal
cancer.
