Title: Construction and Validation of a Predictive Model for the Return to Work of Patients
with Permanent Colorectal Stoma: a cross-sectional study
Version: 1 Date: 06 Aug 2024
Reviewer's report:
In this manuscript, the authors constructed a model to predict the return to work in patients with
permanent colorectal stoma. I have some comments and concerns about the results of this study.
1. The authors should clarify the definition of “return to work”. If a patient returned to work
after 2 years from surgery, is this patient a candidate? Or what if the patient returned to work,
but in a different job?
2. The authors should provide the results of the univariate analysis for variables in Table 2. Also,
Table 3 is not a general style to show the results of multivariable analysis.
3. I think adjuvant therapy and recurrence also influence the rate of return to work. Why were
these factors not analyzed?
4. The rate of return to work was very low in this study. The authors should focus on this point
because this is a crucial problem. The support of companies and society plays an important role
in this. Please investigate these factors.
5. Finally, this study needs a validation cohort.
