Reviewer's report:
Report on the paper entitled “A retrospective analysis of human cystic
echinococcosis cases in Heilongjiang Province, in the northeast of China” by
Zhang et al:
The paper is of great importance and with scientific data presentation. However
the following modifications are needed to make the paper scientific and this is
must for its acceptance:
1. Title: Replace the current title with “Human cystic echinococcosis in
Heilongjiang Province, China: A retrospective study”.
2. Abstract: OK
3. Background: Limit this section within 300 words and with 60% references from
years 2012-2014.
4. Methods: Include here the treatment with chemotherapeutic agents, if any,
along with surgery, and mention the follow up as well.
5. Results: Year wise presentation of data (of all parameters presented in the
paper) is must, since it is a retrospective study. Presentation with table and/or
figure is more scientific.
Mention here, about treatment with chemotherapeutic agents, if any, along with
surgery, and mention the follow up as well.
6. Table 1: Divide patients (cases) into Male, Female and Total. Table 2 and 3:
Start the word in the columns with upper case (first letter only).
7. Discussion: Inclusion of more recent references (80% from years 2012-2014)
is required to make the presentation more scientific and to explore its current
significance of the study.
