Title: Diagnostic Performance of Procalcitonin for Bacterial Infection in Severe Alcoholic
Hepatitis Compared with C-Reactive Protein
Version: 3 Date: 26 Sep 2024
Reviewer's report:
- I have doubts about the title because it is a comparative work between PCT and CRP in the
diagnosis of infection in patients with alcoholic hepatitis.
- Definitions of the different infections should be added
- It has been shown that the infection criteria of sepsis-3 and qSOFA have more sensitivity and
specificity than the SIRS criteria, which have limitations, especially in cirrhotic patients.
