cholecystitis in high-risk elderly patients
Version:5Date:27 March 2015
Reviewer: bhushan bhole
Reviewer's report:
Minor Essential Revisions
1) Background-45: its a 'disease' and not a disorder
2) Background-49: 'increased' complication rates than elevated complication
rates
3) PTGD treatment-107: need to reformulate entire sentence Anti-infection was
carried out according to routine blood return
4) PTGD treatment-107: please use correct terminology for treatment of
hemorrhagic shock and avoid terms like anti-shock therapy
5) Discussion-220: Fourth not Forth
6) Discussion-228&229: please explain the relevance of statement which holds
true for PTBD and not PTGD-However, this procedure is technical difficult when
applied to patients without bile duct dilation and ..........the dilated bile ducts
Level of interest: An article whose findings are important to those with closely
related research interests
Quality of written English: Needs some language corrections before being
published
Statistical review: Yes, but I do not feel adequately qualified to assess the
statistics.
