Title: Evaluation of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio as potential
markers for ulcerative colitis: a retrospective study
Version: 1 Date: 03 Jul 2022
Reviewer's report:
The manuscript is focused on a relevant issue. Please address the following suggestions:
1) The abstract presents many abbreviations without the necessary description, ex. platelet-to-
lymphocyte ratio (PLR), please correct
2) In the introduction section please connect the sentences “Although we have found several
studies in the literature indicating that NLR and PLR could be used to evaluate UC severity.
The sample size is relatively small (…)”.
3) In the methods sections please detail the Etics committee approval of the study protocol and
wether informed consent was obtained. Please detail if the parameters collected are in outpatients
or if hospitalized patients were also included
4) In the discussion section, line 4, please replace “study” for “studies”.
5) In table 2 it would be relevant to discriminate if the disease extent and treatment are similar
in both groups (active and remitted)
6) In the table legends please replace “facal” for “faecal”.
