Title: Identification of Early Predictors for Infected Necrosis in Acute Pancreatitis
Version: 1 Date: 06 Apr 2022
Reviewer's report:
Mats L. Wiese report a much needed study on early predictor of infected necrosis in acute
pancreatitis. This study was analysed and written well even though the data were retrospective
and
nondynamic in nature. However, a few data were missing in the result and discussion section.
1) In the study it was reported that 89 patients had either EUS-FNA or drainage. It would have
been better if you distribute the values between EUS-FNA and Drainage. How many patients
had undergone EUS-FNA only without drainage?
2) In the study it was not mention about the time of organ failure and intervention. As early
infection is associated with increased mortality. ( Additional reference PMID:34774414)
3) It was reported that out of 89 patients, 50 patients had microbiologically confirmed
infection. However, data regarding nature of infection and type of organism was not
mention.
4) Prospective study will give us further direction regarding the validity of the model.
