Title:Long Intestinal Tube Splinting Prevent Postoperative Adhesive Small Bowel
Obstruction in Sclerosing Encapsulating Peritonitis
Version:4Date:30 May 2014
Reviewer: Marica Galati
Reviewer's report:
The incidence of SEP is so rare that it would be almost impossible to
find a sample population large enough to attain statistically significant results.
However, in my opinion it would be a mistake to conclude, just because the study
has the largest number of patients and the longer follow-up compared with
previously published papers, that we can draw strong conclusions about efficacy
of tube splinting in preventing ASBO in SEP patients.
Level of interest: An article whose findings are important to those with closely
related research interests
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a statistician.
Declaration of competing interests:
