Title: A rapid preliminary prediction model for intestinal necrosis in acute mesenteric ischemia:
a retrospective study
Version: 5 Date: 10 Mar 2021
Reviewer's report:
The authors have made satisfactory efforts to improve the discussion of their manuscript.
However, I suggest some final improvements before acceptance.
- the title may specify this is a development stage of a prediction model
- the abstract's and manuscript's conclusion may be mitigated: the model's accuracy should be
validated in further studies.
- the methods and/or results/tables section should specify which variables were selected and
entered in the model, even if they were then excluded by the forward elimination. I find it still
unclear.
- throughout the manuscript and, especially the abstract, please specify the units used for
calculation for WBC and DDimers as they may differ across labs and countries.
