Title: Is insulin the preferred treatment in persons with type 2 diabetes and liver cirrhosis?
Version: 1 Date: 08 Feb 2021
Reviewer's report:
This is a study involving a very large population addressing a relevant and interesting question.
The accuracy of data depends very much on accurate collection, since the study is based on
a database, albeit a national one. For example, the definition of 'death' is questionable. Also,
defining 'insulin user' with a minimum period of use of only 28 days is inadequate. There are also
a few typographical errors in the manuscript (lines 45 and 75). Although a prospective cohort
study can better address this research question this large retrospective analysis is a good attempt
to find answers to a problematic clinical question.
