Mortality in Cardiac Surgeries: Why Publish?

The first one is that the manuscript does not mention in its title the institution where the data were obtained: not mentioning the institution in the title or in the methods meets the blinded review policy applicable to scientific papers, which significantly improves the quality of publications2. Nevertheless, after reading the manuscript, it rests clear to any attentive reader that the data mentioned are those from the Instituto de Cardiologia de Santa Catarina (ICSC), connected to the Final Term Paper of the Medical Residency Program in Cardiology of one of the authors. As the Instituto de Cardiologia do Rio Grande do Sul (IC-FUC) is indicated as an academic association of the second author at the time of the submission, inattentive readers could associate it to the data appearing in the manuscrupt, which is not true.
