Reviewer's report:
Dear authors,
I appreciate your time and effort involved in this systematic review and meta-analysis regarding
risk factors for endoscopic postoperative recurrence in patients with Crohn's disease. The study
topic is novel, interesting, and within the journal's scope. Your manuscript can assist clinicians to
better manage the patients. You followed a transparent and rigorous method to investigate factors
affecting ePOR in Crohn's disease patients. In my opinion, it can be considered for publication
after some revisions. Please address my concerns to improve the quality of your manuscript.
1-Abstract, result, please mention P-values in addition to OR and CI.
2-Why did you not perform subgroup analysis based on study design (case-control vs. cohort
study)?
3-The manuscript is well written in English. However, it has a few grammatical errors. Please
consult an English editor to improve the grammar, punctuation, fluency, and style.
4-limitations, Please mention that your manuscript suffers from language bias.
5-Table 1, two studies (Shen and Yamada) had no reports for endoscopic recurrence. Is it correct?
Please check them.
