Title: The early biomarker of immature granulocyte count in predicting right-side colonic
complicated acute diverticulitis: A retrospective cohort study
Version: 2 Date: 02 Sep 2024
Reviewer's report:
I appreciate the opportunity to reivew this manuscript.
It's well written and results are interesting.
However, there is one major flaw: Authors evaulate, analyze and discuss about patients with
Rt sided diverticulitis. It is very different from Lt sided diverticulitis. For example (read -
doi.org/10.1111/codi.15328, but there are many more publications). First of all- note in the title
that you are speaking about Rt sided colonic diverticulitis. Second, I believe that most of your
references are studies done on Lt sided diverticulitis (at least most of the patients in each cohort).
The authors should explain why they can extrapolate on their Rt sided diverticulitis cohort or at
least emphasize it as limitation. Third- if in your country there is higher incidence of Rt sided
diverticulitis than in the western world (me myself practicing in the US and was practicing in
another western country and saw very few cases of Rt sided diverticulitis) - please emphasize
it in the text.
