Title: Development and validation of Comprehensive Nomograms from the SEER Database for
Predicting Early Mortality in Metastatic Rectal Cancer Patients
Version: 0 Date: 04 Jan 2024
Reviewer's report:
The manuscript provides a valuable contribution to construct a predicting model for early
mortality in metastatic rectal cancer. The work also has a good sample size with 2570 patients.
However, The foundation of the manuscript, based on an assumption that there are/were no
reports of nomograms for predicting early mortality in rectal cancer patients, is ambiguous. See
Wang et al. (2020) Int J Colorectal Dis 35(6). Although this study employed a different analysis
approach compare to the previous published work, a more thorough explanation is essential to
fully delineate the novelty, in particular the superiority over the other study, of this research.
