Title: Emergency gastrointestinal surgery in patients undergoing  antithrombotic therapy in a
single general hospital: A propensity  score-matched analysis
Version: 3 Date: 11 May 2021
Reviewer:  Gianluca Costa
Reviewer's report:
The paper is well done and the statistical analysis was properly carried out. I agree with the use
of PSM above all when facing emergency surgery. I would like to congratulate with authors. I
have only one minor comment: what do you think about the rate of antithrombotic patients (less
than 10%), the age, and CACI? I think that a study entailing patients with more advanced age
and higher CACI could be more interesting.
