advanced adenomatous polyps in Black patients

Reviewer's report:
Thank you for taking the time to review my recommendations and thoughtfully incorporating
the feedback.
There is one point that I feel should be addressed, which is the crux of the paper - medication
use. How long were those exposed to ASA and or statins exposed for? We are interested in those
who are long-term users. Though it is linked to the database, is there a way of excluding short
term users? (e.g. those who were on a statin for 1 month, or asa for 1 week). If not, this should
be added as a limitation, and any assumptions on length of use should be added to the methods.
