Title: Nucleated red blood cell distribution in critically ill patients with acute pancreatitis: a
retrospective cohort study
Version: 0 Date: 17 Aug 2024
Reviewer's report:
I want to congratulate the authors for their work on a topic of great importance: the prediction
of the evolutionary course of acute pancreatitis cases, when it is in the early hours.
The sample size is sufficient, the methodology correct, with a complete statistical analysis that
demonstrates the correlation between nucleated red blood cell and mortality in patients admitted
to intensive care for acute pancreatitis.
I suggest two changes to the authors in order to improve the article. On the one hand, describe
in the general series the intra-ICU mortality and the overall 90-day mortality.
On the other hand, and more importantly, give a practical approach to work. Differences in the
distribution of nucleated red blood cell distribution between deceased and survivors have been
established, but no cutoff points have been established. Cutoff points to predict mortality, in three
categories, for example, would be appreciated. Each category should have its own sensitivity
and specificity, which would be of great use to clinicians.
