Title: Analysis of risk factors related to acute exacerbation in patients with chronic pancreatitis:
a retrospective study of 313 cases from a single center in China
Version: 4 Date: 06 Oct 2024
Reviewer:  Sushila Kumar Pattanaik
Reviewer's report:
Although most of the points are revised, the following still remains incomprehensible.
Point 6.  Risk factors for ACP involving the 11 indices mentioned above (..............). These
11 indices have not explicitly been mentioned above, you are mentioning for the first time.
Therefore, you can omit "mentioned above", or you can replace "mentioned above" by  "as
described in Table- 1".
Point 7. You can replace ['physical examination' or 'investigation'] by the name of the
investigation that established the diagnosis of pancreatic calcification, say simply  [radiological
investigations]
Explanation of higher incidence of ACP in your study than earlier literature need not mean for
me alone. It should be added to the discussion section of your manuscript to explain the validity
of your results.
Point 11. I could not get satisfactory answer to my query on authorship criteria. As per ICMJE
criteria of authorship, funding only cannot satisfy the criteria of authorship. In this context, YF,
C, surprisingly  the corresponding author, cannot be an author. You can add some significant
contribution against the name to include YF, C as an author, otherwise it goes against publication
ethics.
