Title: PREDICTIVE VALUES OF AN IMMUNOLOGICAL FECAL OCCULT BLOOD
TEST FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF COLORECTAL CANCER COMPARED USING
COLONOSCOPY IN SYMPTOMATIC PATIENTS IN YAOUNDE (CAMEROON)

Reviewer:  Henry Dilonga Meriki
Reviewer's report:
The authors have addressed most of my worries. Nonetheless, there are some suggestions for
which they did not provide a convincing response. For example, the suggestion to include
likelihood ratio (LR) and area under the curve (AUC) with a graph in the performance variables.
Their response was "Not available."  I presumed the same data used to estimate the sensitivity,
specificity, PPV and NPV can be used to generate these parameters.
Also, in Figure 3, there are no axes labels.
