Title: Efficacy and safety analysis of dexamethasone-lipiodol emulsion in prevention of post-
embolization syndrome after TACE: a retrospective analysis
Version: 2 Date: 29 May 2021
Reviewer's report:
English language should be double checked by a native speaker.
I have concerns about the selection of patients and methodology.
Some parts like the results section are incomprehensible in the current style.
Abstract
The results section should be rewritten and rephrased. Please put exact p values. Replace VS
with vs.
Materials and Methods
« 300–500 um gelatin sponge particles » : how is it possible to have this exact size of sponge
particles ?
“Chemotherapeutic drugs used during surgery are divided into two types: (1) lobaplatin 50 mg;
(2) epirubicin 30 mg”: what was the proportion of patients with each of them ?
The technique of TACE (selective, lobar) should described more in detail. It can seriously impact
the incidence of PES.
Results
Should be completely rephrased.
Why does basic information section appear here ?
Discussion
Too long.
Tables
What is the sense of having 2 statistical tests in tables ?
