Title: Prognostic Impact of a 3-week Multimodal Prehabilitation Program on Frail Elderly
Patients Undergoing Elective Gastric Cancer Surgery:  A Randomized Trial
Version: 4 Date: 23 Oct 2024
Reviewer's report:
The authors have done a good job revising their manuscript. In their revision, they have changed
the co-primary outcomes to make postoperative outcomes the sole primary outcome. However,
this is not consistent with the trial registration. I suggest the authors clarify that this is a post-
hoc decision to ensure transparency about the deviation from the registration. Alternatively,
they could maintain the co-primary outcomes but make it clear in the statistics section that no
correction for multiple testing has been performed
