Title: Survival outcomes of population-wide colonoscopy screening: Reanalysis of the NordICC
data
Version: 1 Date: 30 Sep 2024
Reviewer's report:
The manuscript entitled “Survival outcomes of population-wide colonoscopy screening:
Reanalysis of the NordICC data” re-analyses the results coming from a really discussed paper
(NordICC trial) reenforcing and confirming a reduced role for screening colonoscopy. The
authors use a different statistical analysis (restricted-mean survival time) to overcome some
described issues posed by hazard ratio. The authors should better specify the rational behind the
use of this tool instead of HRs.
Moreover, a better and comprehensive comment in the discussion section evaluating why
colonoscopy seems not to show those benefits in their study should be added.
In my opinion, the content of this manuscript would be more suitable for an editorial or letter
to the editor.
