Fibrosis Score in Patients Attending a Tertiary Hospital Clinic in Cairo, Egypt
Version: 4 Date: 30 Jun 2024
Reviewer's report:
Good afternoon!
1. I would like to know what the criteria were for choosing the probiotic used;
2. Regarding the request for laboratory tests, I think it is necessary to include ferritin, blood
glucose, glycated hemoglobin, insulin and the HOMA index;
3. Remake the methodology in relation to lifestyle modification. The targeted physical activity
and weekly activity time were not specified and in relation to the diets used in the study, it was
not clear which was followed in both groups;
5.Regarding the diets used, please specify thr percentages of macronutrients;
4. Update the current nomenclature of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease;
5. Most of the bibliographic references are very old, I think it is necessary to use more current
articles, especially those dealing with a relevant topic that is still much discussed.
Thank you very much!
