Title: Concurrent Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease May Decrease Liver Fibrosis Severity in
Patients with Primary Biliary Cholangitis
Version: 2 Date: 05 May 2025
Reviewer's report:
Dear Authors,
Thank you for submitting your manuscript to BMC Gastroenterology. Your study provides
significant new evidence that concurrent NAFLD does not worsen and may even improve liver
fibrosis and long-term outcomes in patients with PBC. The use of robust statistical methods and
a well-defined cohort strengthens your conclusions. However, I encourage you to discuss more
explicitly the limitations related to retrospective design and imaging-based NAFLD diagnosis
in your discussion. Your work is valuable to literature, and I support its publication.
Sincerely, reviewer
