Title: Regression in hepatic fibrosis in elderly Chinese patients with hepatitis C receiving direct-
acting antiviral treatment
Version: 0 Date: 25 Dec 2022
Reviewer's report:
The article discusses an important topic and the objective is clear, well addressed and reasonably
discussed.
I have few comments for minor revision;
Mention CAP in full ay first mention in the article
Patient’s grouping is 70 years or older NOT older than 70 years
#GT abbreviation is gamma-glutamyl transferase
Use either elder OR elderly consistently in the article
Sysmex XN-2000 reagents are not supplied by Roche
Revise all ranges in tables and highlight the significant p-value
In the results section; no need to add all these numbers in text as long as it mentioned in tables
in a very clear format
The discussion needs to be shorter and more focused on the article’s objective. Also no need to
mention other non-invasive tests for liver fibrosis, its not related. The on-invasive tests used to
assess liver fibrosis in the current study are validated in several published studies and ne need
to question its accuracy compared to liver biopsy.
