Title: Impact and usefulness of the transition to the new MAFLD classification for non-B, non-
C HCC: A retrospective cohort study
Version: 1 Date: 23 May 2023
Reviewer:  Honglu Yu
Reviewer's report:
In Figure 1, the sentence “222 patients met MAFLD criteria other than the presence of hepatic
steatosis” should be deleted, because the sentence is irrelevant with the figure legend “Patient
selection and study design”. Besides, the sentence “222 patients met MAFLD criteria” is
inconsistent with what the authors said in Discussion section “found that a total of 222 (89%)
and 91 (36%) cases met the alternative criteria”.
