Title: A nomogram to predict pulmonary complications after gastrointestinal surgery: a
retrospective study
Version: 2 Date: 07 Sep 2024
Reviewer's report:
Indeed, predicting the risk for PPC is very important. However, the parameters should be chosen
very carefully and should include only those who may cause PPC and are not the outcomes of
PPC.
The sample size is relatively small and may be even smaller after re-definition of the relevant
parameters.
If there is a possibility to increase the number of participants it will strengthen the  conclusions
of your study.
