Title: Hepatitis C micro-elimination through the retrieval strategy of patients lost to follow-up
Version: 4 Date: 21 Dec 2022
Reviewer's report:
This is a retrospective one-center study reporting the HCV micro-elimination through the
retrieval strategy of patients. It is an interesting study; however, some points have to be clarified.
The authors stated in their conclusion that the call back system can expand our reach to those
unaware or ignoring chronic HCV infection patients and link them to treatment resulting in
improving the goal of HCV micro-elimination. However, most patients did not return for
retrieval, and a huge proportion of the patients were not reached, making the power of this study
weak.
