Title: Single center assessment of the role of Oakland score among patients admitted for acute
lower gastrointestinal bleeding
Version: 3 Date: 31 Dec 2023
Reviewer's report:
An article entitled "Single center assessment of the role of Oakland score among patients
admitted for acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding" by Luis M. Nieto describe the association
between Oakland score and safe discharge in LGIB patents.
Although this is an interesting study, there are several issues that need to be addressed.
1) The authors present the patent's diseases using ICD codes, however, the association between
diseases causing LGIB and the Oakland score is unclear. Please specify the breakdown of
diseases in the 108 patients.
Is there a difference in the Oakland score based on the underlying diseases?
2) The authors list mortality as the primary endpoint; however, there is insufficient description
regarding the causes of death.
3) Please specify the diseases that were the cause of readmission.
