Title: Ischemia prediction score (IsPS) in patients with strangulated small bowel obstruction:
a retrospective cohort study
Version: 2 Date: 13 Feb 2023
Reviewer's report:
I congratulate the authors with tis work.
Adhesive small bowel obstruction is an important cause for morbidity and mortality in
emergency abdominal surgery; Recognizing the need to perform emerency surger vs.
conservative trial is one of the most important clinical challenges in the management of small
bowel obstruction.
A few question:
A decrease in CT value of 30% was considered positive for potential ischemia. How was tis cut-
off derived? Could the cutt-off value be further optimized?
Although the results are promising, there is still some substantial risk of missing a case of
ischemia. Have the authors also considered to include other CT signs in their score?
Please furter elaborate on the future researc and development.
Finally, there are some grammar issues throughout the manuscript, it is adviced to involve a
native speaker.
