  • What are the main claims of the paper and how important are they?

    Small Bowel Mechanical Occlusion and Computed Tomography Severity Indicators.


  • Are these claims novel? If not, please specify papers that weaken the claims to the originality of this one.

    No the claims are not novel:

    1. Mourad Boudiaf et al., CT Evaluation of Small Bowel Obstruction, RadioGraphics, May 2001, 21, 613-624.

    2. Tracy A. Jaffe et al., Small-Bowel Obstruction: Coronal Reformations from Isotropic Voxels at 16-Section Multi-Detector Row CT, J. Radiology, 2006, 23, 8:1 135-142

    3. Ana Catarina Silva et al., Small Bowel Obstruction: What to Look For1 RadioGraphics March 1, 2009, 29:2 423-439.

  • Are the claims properly placed in the context of the previous literature?

    Yes


  • Do the results support the claims? If not, what other evidence is required?

    Yes relatively.


  • If a protocol is provided, for example for a randomized controlled trial, are there any important deviations from it? If so, have the authors explained adequately why the deviations occurred?

    The protocol (method) is a simple and standard one.


  • Is the methodology valid? Does the paper offer enough details of its methodology that its experiments or its analyses could be reproduced?

    Yes relatively


  • Would any other experiments or additional information improve the paper? How much better would the paper be if this extra work was done, and how difficult would such work be to do, or to provide?

    Giving more details on the investigation protocol and followed method.


  • Is this paper outstanding in its discipline? (For example, would you like to see this work presented in a seminar at your hospital or university? Do you feel these results need to be incorporated in your next general lecture on the subject?) If yes, what makes it outstanding? If not, why not?

    No
