Title:Studies on best positive predictors for sustained virologic response to
interferon alpha plus ribavirin therapy in Naive Chronic Hepatitis C Patients
Version: 2Date:10 June 2008
Reviewer: Claudio Tiribelli
Reviewer's report:
The author addressed my critiques in a acceptable way although the main
reservations I had still holds i.e. the nature of retrospective studies, the poor
selection of the patients and the largely confirmatory results. I understand that
the ethnicity is different from what previously reported in other larger and
prospective studies, but this is not enough to have this paper published as full
Ms. I suggest to shorten the text and submit as short report.
Level of interest: An article of limited interest
Quality of written English: Needs some language corrections before being
published
Statistical review: Yes, but I do not feel adequately qualified to assess the
statistics.
Declaration of competing interests:
I have no competing interests.
