Title:Outcome of gastric emptying and gastrointestinal symptoms after liver
transplantation for hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis
Version:1Date:23 January 2015
Reviewer: Mehmet Haberal
Reviewer's report:
There are some limitations related with the manuscript entitled as ‘Outcome of
gastric emptying and gastrointestinal symptoms after liver transplantation for
hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis’’
1- When we evaluate the ‘’ T50’’ measurements seperately before and after
scintigraphic software differences is there any difference between the results?
2- Although we do not expect a significant symptomatic amelioration after
transplantation and evaluation of symptoms is a subjective thing , the
comparision of symptoms in accordance different time periods will increase the
subjectivity of your comment.
3- I noticed that not all the patients responded the survey and it is possible that
patients with complaints are more prone to respond the survey.
4-On the other hand it is not clear how a person can get 4 and 6 points from
lower GI symptoms which consists of from three symptoms (192-193)
Level of interest: An article whose findings are important to those with closely
related research interests
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a statistician.
Declaration of competing interests:
I declare that I have no competing interests
