Title: Risk factors for unplanned 31-day readmission after surgery for colorectal cancer Patients:
a meta-analysis
Version: 2 Date: 03 Mar 2025
Reviewer's report:
Based on a comprehensive evaluation of the scientific, methodological, and statistical aspects
of the study, the manuscript presents important findings on risk factors for unplanned 31-day
readmission after colorectal cancer surgery. It follows recognized guidelines, uses appropriate
statistical techniques, and addresses a clinically significant issue.
However, several methodological and statistical concerns need to be clarified and refined before
publication. The high heterogeneity, lack of additional subgroup analyses, and limited discussion
on clinical applications require revision to strengthen the validity and applicability of the
findings.
Final Decision:
# Conditional Acceptance – Minor Revisions Required
The article should be published once the authors address the methodological concerns,
strengthen statistical analysis, and improve clinical discussion. If these revisions are adequately
made, the manuscript will make a valuable contribution to the field.
If the authors do not adequately address the concerns, reconsideration for acceptance may be
necessary.
