Development and Feasibility of an Inpatient Cancer-Related Sarcopenia Pathway at a Major Cancer Centre
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The manuscript has a good design, execution and writing.
A consideration for future interventions would be to include a professional from physical activity and sports sciences, and not just a physiotherapist and exercise physiologist for the physical part.
Some errors that should be corrected in the text are the following:
Line 146: There is no mention to Figure 1 in the paragraph.
Line 320: There is a mistake with the title referencing Fig. 2. It is not correct the title “Supplementary Material File 3 . Participant flow diagram”.
Line 350: There is an error naming Figure 3 as 2, entitled “Figure 2. Intervention delivery adherence to key components of the sarc-pathway”.
Congrats!
