Title: Association between serum vitamin D status and severity of liver cirrhosis: Implications
for therapeutic targeting in Nigerian patients
Version: 2 Date: 05 Jul 2024
Reviewer's report:
This cross-sectional study investigated the correlation between serum vitamin D levels and the
severity of liver cirrhosis using Child-Pugh and MELD scores in the Nigerian population. The
results revealed that the serum vitamin D level correlated with the severity of liver cirrhosis and
suggested that serum vitamin D level could be used as a prognostic marker in patients with liver
cirrhosis. Although several studies already reported the relationship between vitamin D and liver
fibrosis or liver cirrhosis, this study was well-designed. The manuscript was well-written and
the results were discussed clearly.
