Title: The Role of C-reactive protein to lymphocyte ratio in NAFLD and  Mortality Among
NAFLD Patients

Reviewer's report:
Dear Authors,
Thank you for your submission. While your study addresses an interesting topic, we have
several concerns regarding its novelty, methodology, and statistical robustness. Given the
existing research on the association between CLR and NAFLD, the study lacks sufficient
originality. Additionally, the use of different diagnostic criteria across NHANES survey years
raises concerns about potential misclassification bias. The statistical effect sizes are relatively
small, and the clinical significance of the findings remains uncertain.
Due to these limitations, we are unable to recommend this manuscript for publication. We
appreciate your efforts and encourage you to refine your study, addressing these concerns in
future research.
Best regards,
Reviewer
