Title: Assessing the consistency of FIB-4, APRI, and GPR in evaluating significant liver fibrosis
and cirrhosis in COVID-19 patients with concurrent liver diseases
Version: 0 Date: 15 Feb 2025
Reviewer's report:
1. We congratulate the authors for developing yet another model for predicting high risk
esophago-gastric varices in patients with Cirrhosis of Liver
2.Authors have not mentioned the indications for doing CT scan
3. When other non invasive models for predicting high risk varices available, how do we justify
a CT based model which poses radiation risk to the patients.
4. Radiation dose not calculated ( May be due to retrospective nature of study)
5. Any non invasive model should be simple, reproducible and cost effective. However any CT
based model will be expensive.
6.Being a retrospective study, authors should have tested this model in few patients prospectively
