Title:Back-to-Back Comparison of Auto-Fluorescence Imaging (AFI) versus High
Resolution White Light Colonoscopy for Adenoma Detection
Version: 4Date:25 February 2012
Reviewer: Takahisa Matsuda
Reviewer's report:
1. Regarding the sample size calculation, the authors explained its method just
for the point-by-point response to the Editor. It should be described in the
manuscript (Methods section).
2. A portion of the text is repeated (e.g. Background, page 7, line 9- and
Discussion, page 15, line 9-). Background should be shortened.
3. Table 2; As for the p-value of detection rate for “all adenoma” and “flat and
depressed adenoma” by HRE and AFI, authors reported that the detection rate of
AFI was significantly higher than that of HRE. Is it right? Please recheck and
confirm the p-value again statistically.
Level of interest: An article of limited interest
Quality of written English: Needs some language corrections before being
published
Statistical review: Yes, and I have assessed the statistics in my report.
