Peer review report 2 on “A Systematic Review of Prehabilitation Programs in Abdominal Cancer Surgery”

[H1]Original Submission

[H2]Comments to the author

[H2]Recommendation

I think the authors have not understood the filling of the PRISMA checklist. All the authors need to do is provide the page number where the required criterion is provided. They do not have to fill the criterion box with text. I have also just noted that the references have only one author and 'et al', which is not permissible.

Minor Revision

[H2]Comments to the author While the review is interesting in that it shows no uniformity in prehabilitation programmes, I am not clear about the purpose of the review. The PRISMA guidelines form needs to be filled.
