Title: Establishing of a risk prediction model for metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver
disease: a retrospective cohort study
Version: 1 Date: 25 Sep 2024
Reviewer's report:
I thank the editor for inviting me to review this manuscript and I have several comments.
1. In Figure 1, the exclusion criterion (Excluding previous history of other serious illnesses
(n=289)) appears twice. Please verify this.
2. What methods are used for collinearity diagnosis? What indicators are adopted? How is
the judgment made? If collinearity exists, how is it handled? These should be clarified in the
statistical analysis section.
3. Line 153, is the word 'occucation' spelled incorrectly?
4. On what principles were the clinical characteristics chosen in this study?
5. What are the p-value thresholds for variables entering and exiting the model in the stepwise
regression analysis?
6. The participants in this study are all from the Chinese population, which has its own diagnostic
criteria for MASLD. These criteria seem to differ somewhat from those used by the authors in the
article. Did the authors compare the differences between the two sets of criteria? Additionally,
have they considered whether using the Chinese population's own MASLD diagnostic criteria
would be more reasonable?
