Title: Global, Regional, and National Burden of Disease Analysis on Paralytic Ileus and
Intestinal Obstruction in Adults Aged 65 and Over from 1990 to 2021, with Projections for 2030:
A Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 Analysis
Version: 2 Date: 16 Mar 2025
Reviewer's report:
I am unable to access the .pdf file containing the response to reviewers' queries, as it seems to
be "damaged or corrupted". I have attempted to open it in different computers/browsers.
Please re-upload  for re-assessment in a different format so this can be assessed.
One  fundamental aspect that  is important to consider is the fact that Paralytic Ileus and Intestinal
Obstruction are manifestations of an underlying disease process, and have a multitude of causes
behind them. It would be  important (i.e. if this dataset allows for it in the first place) to see a
broad breakdown of the associated causes behind these cases. This would enable to elicit the
actual culprit  of these cases. If this is within the realm of possibility of this dataset,  it would
certainly enhance the manuscript.
