Title:"Fast track" rehabilitation after gastric cancer resection: experience with 80
consecutive cases
Version:1Date:22 March 2014
Reviewer: Alberto Biondi
Reviewer's report:
The paper is generally well written.
1) I think that in this paper continuous data should be reported as a median value
and range because the sample size is quite small.
2) In this paper there is no data mining. The Authors should investigate
association between variables and outcome. Fast track protocols are usually
evaluated as a combination of several pre/intra/postoperative measures but
identify which measures mostly influence results is important as well. In this
regard the Authors report a very short operation time compared with others study
and in my opinion could be and independent factor affecting postoperative
course.
Level of interest: An article whose findings are important to those with closely
related research interests
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: Yes, and I have assessed the statistics in my report.
