Reviewer: Juan Manuel Fernández
Reviewer's report:
Minor Essential Revisions:
1) to draw conclusions from the study, an important aspect is to know the time
during which the patients had been taking statins, something that has not been
reflected in the study.
2) In table 1, Why is not calculated the P-value in the only two conditions in which
no statistical differences between the two groups (hypertension and coronary
artery disease/coronary heart failure/valvular?
3) The conclusions of the study says:" Stain treatment may also be associated
with less bleeding during laparoscopic operations" but the study has not shown
statistical significance in this aspect.
Level of interest: An article of limited interest
Quality of written English: Acceptable
