Title: Construction and Validation of a Predictive Model for the Return to Work of Patients
with Permanent Colorectal Stoma: a cross-sectional study
Version: 2 Date: 27 Aug 2024
Reviewer's report:
Thank you for this fine written manuscript. I really appreciate your choice of the statistical tests.
I have some questions in the Methods:
Is the sample non normal distributed? In such case why you didn’t use wilcoxon log rank for
categorical variables?
I suggest moving the tables from the methods section  to results section.
Results section:
I appreciate your efforts to summarise the most important results. However, it is better to avoid
repeating and focus only on statistically significant results.
Some results are kind of expected such as delays to return to work for patient with complications
after stoma surgery.
If you may clarify tables 1 and 3 captions and where multivariate analysis was used.
Discussion section:
This section takes into consideration the Chinese culture and reports clearly the implications
of this study. However, it is advisable to minimise repetition of the results and to keep the
assumption based on statistically significant results.
Limitations of the study: I would suggest to add more about selection bias.
General notes: English language revision is advisable.
