Title:Hyperimmune Anti-HBs Plasma as Alternative to Commercial
Immunoglobulins for Prevention of HBV Recurrence After Liver Transplantation
Version: 1Date:9 November 2009
Reviewer: Lu-nan Yan
Reviewer's report:
Major Compulsory Revisions
1 The values of HBV DNA at transplantation should be expressed as mean ± SD.
2 The serologic HBV markers including HBsAg, anti- HBsAg, HBeAg, anti-
HBeAg, anti-HBcAg should be elaborated.
3 The prophylactic efficacies between the patients received only HIP and the
patients received HIP and NA should be compared.
Minor Essential Revisions
1 Hyperimmune plasma or HIP in the Methods of the Abstract should be
expressed as (hyperimmune plasma, HIP).
2 ”…, which is reduced to 0-10% at long-term after LT” in Introduction should be
replaced by “leading to HBV recurrence rate of 0-10% for long-term follow up”.
Level of interest: An article whose findings are important to those with closely
related research interests
Quality of written English: Needs some language corrections before being
published
Statistical review: Yes, but I do not feel adequately qualified to assess the
statistics.
