Title: Who would avoid severe adverse events from nasointestinal tube in small bowel
obstruction?—a matched case-control study
Version: 5 Date: 13 Apr 2022
Reviewer's report:
The authors tried to answer to my questions but the main problem of this paper is an analysis
of heterogeneous population in term of diagnosis. I imagine that patients with adhesions differ
from patients with tumor or reflex ileus caused by inflammatory disease or hernia!!! So it seems
difficult for me to accept this paper for publication unless  they improve  this problem. Perhaps
a paper based only on analysis of patients with small bowel occlusion due to adhesions coud
be useful.... furthermore, they mixed two analysis.: results of conservative treatment or SAE
following NIT insertion. What did they consider the main results?
