Summary: In this paper, we investigate the value distribution of \(q\)-shift difference and differential polynomials of meromorphic functions and study their uniqueness for entire functions of zero order. We deduce the results of X.-M. Zheng and H.-Y. Xu [“On value distribution and uniqueness of meromorphic function with finite logarithmic order concerning its derivative and \(q\)-shift difference”, J. Inequal. Appl. 2014:295, 11 pp. (2014)] as a particular case of our results.
