Title: Utility of monocyte distribution width in the differential diagnosis between simple and
complicated diverticulitis: a retrospective cohort study
Version: 0 Date: 22 Jan 2023
Reviewer:  Murat Taner Gül#en
Reviewer's report:
The study is up-to-date and gives us a practical approach to a common clinical issue. The
introduction and discussion sections of the article are sufficient. However, I would like to address
some issues in the Materials and Methods section:
1) It should be stated whether the tomographies are taken orally or IV, and how the diagnosis
is made radiologically should be briefly explained.
2) The characteristics of complicated and uncomplicated Diverticulitis should be clearly stated.
3) How the cutoff value of MDW is found as 20.38 should be explained in the material and
method section.
4) Is the MDW measured from the patient's blood at the time of admission or from the blood
taken at the later time?
5) How the MDW is obtained and why it has not a unit should be briefly stated.
