Tariq, Muhammad Ali; Mohiuddin, Ashar
- Abstract
Furthermore, the authors mention that they utilized the methodology suggested by Hozo et al. to estimate mean and standard deviation for studies where median with range was provided [[5]]. B Dear Editor, b We recently read the meta-analysis by Zheng et al. titled "Comparison of intracorporeal and extracorporeal anastomosis and resection in right colectomy: a systematic review and meta-analysis" published in the September issue of Langenbeck's Archives of Surgery [[1]]. Therefore, we recommend the authors to use methods as proposed by McGrath et al. to estimate the sample mean and standard deviation for skewed data when the underlying distribution is unknown [[6]].
