Title:Meta-analyses of Fibrotest diagnostic value in chronic liver disease
Version: 3Date:3 September 2007
Reviewer: Claudio Tiribelli
Reviewer's report:
I read the revised version and the answers to the reviewers. It is unclear to me
which is “which is which” i.e. the answers are not fully address the questions
raise, at least in my case. What I think is crucial is that the results are not
presented as the evidence that the Fibrotest is the solution of the assessment of
hepatic fibrosis but rather an additional, useful mean. Therefore the tone of the
discussion needs to be less dogmatic. Again, be sure to have the ms assessed
by an independent biostatistician. Give the points above I suggest accepting the
Ms.
