Title: Medical radiation exposure in inflammatory bowel disease: an updated meta-analysis
Version: 1 Date: 15 Feb 2024
Reviewer's report:
This a worthwhile update
However there is no quality assessment as per Cochrane guidelines this is a major deficiency
eg Newcastle-Otawa or  alternative
There seems no order to the papers in the table? Year, alphabetical, size I favour former.
There is no mention of METRIC trial pivotal to tilt towards use of MR and IUS
Most CT is now done out of hours for urgent situations this should be discussed . Can this be
addressed in analysis too?
Differences between LMIC and HIC might also be addressed
