Title: Machine Learning for Temporary Stoma After Intestinal Resection in Surgical Decision-
Making of Crohn's Disease
Version: 0 Date: 29 Dec 2023
Reviewer's report:
The authors report on the development of a predictive nomogram model for temporary stoma
formation after intestinal resection in Crohn's disease. The topic is interesting and quite relevant
as management strategy can vary significantly in this situation. The study is well designed and
reported. The limitations (retrospective nature, single center data) are acknowledged by the
authors; case number on the other hand is impressive.
Minor issues:
1. What was the basis of the decision between primary anastomosis vs temporary stoma
formation?
2. Incusion of lenght of follow-up period would be advisable.
3. Are there any data about postoperative BMI (and BMI change) of those underwent primary
anastomosis formation?
4. How much do the results of preoperative imaging studies and the patient's surgical history
influence the need for stoma creation?
