Abstract
Referring to the report by Marco Arguello-Hurtado et al, I would say that is interesting for the casuistry they report; for the low incidence of externalization, suggesting that their work is of high quality; and because there was no association found with the proposed risk factors, which, along with the fact that the most frequent externalization is the "delayed", suggests that the problem is unrelated to the organic conditions of the patients.
