Title: Impact of bowel preparation on elective colectomies for diverticulitis: analysis of the
NSQIP database
Version: 3 Date: 03 Jul 2022
Reviewer's report:
Nice work, interesting subject which is being debated now (bowel prep or not). In general it
would be nice to know a little more about the NSQUIP data base, has it been validated? How
reliable is the data? Some concerns were addressed in limitations which is good.
It should be stated that what kind of study this is (retrospective cohort national cohort study)
in methods.
Reference no 14 is very old, are there no more recent studies comparing this?
In Table 1, are any colectomies clean? Shouldn't they at least be clean-contaminated?
Is possible to know if all antibiotics given were parenteral or could there be oral as well?
