Title: A validation Study of Three Early Warning Scores in Early Identification of Gastric
Cancer Patients with Deteriorating Condition after Gastrectomy
Version: 2 Date: 29 Aug 2024
Reviewer's report:
Retrospective study examining the application of early warning Scores.  With the SEWS the
stronger indicator for gastrectomy complications.
Areas to be addressed
1. Abstract uses acronym SEWS as surgical early warning score.  Later in the paper SEWS is
referred to as Standardised early warning score.
2. Grammar errors
- "Patients admitted to general wards who were not included# and patients who required
immediate ICU transfer for advanced life support due to critical condition after surgery "
3. Referencing errors
- Calibration ability is assessed using the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test[26]  ( 25 in
the references)
4. For the Calibration Model, please add an appendix on the calculations (what was the input data
to achieve the chi-square values).  With calibration models the paper referenced also suggests
to use in conjunction with the pearson chi-square statistic and the Stukel's test (pg 152)
