Title: Prognostic clinical indexes for prediction of acute gangrenous cholecystitis and acute
purulent cholecystitis
Version: 6 Date: 18 Sep 2022
Reviewer's report:
The authors have answered to most of the queries. However, the following needs to be addressed:
1. The authors mentioned in the response “our hospital also carried out many percutaneous
gallbladder drainage treatment”. It is even more important to include treatment strategies for
revealing the characteristics of this study patients precisely. Why the patients of this study
underwent surgery ?
2. The rate of emergency/elective surgery of the 3 groups should be included in the manuscript
or Table 1.
3. In the Background of this study, the authors mentioned the severity of AGC/APC (higher
mortality rate, need of intensive care). However, the rates of postoperative complications and
mortality in this study were 5.26 and 3.51%. Because the cause of death was not related to
surgical complications, the rates seem to be low. Therefore, perioperative outcomes (surgical
characteristics, ICU stay, hospital stay, etc.) are recommended to be shown.
