Title: Hepatitis C Positive Organ Transplantation to Negative Recipients at a Multiorgan
Canadian Transplant Centre: Ready for Prime Time
Version: 2 Date: 02 Dec 2021
Reviewer's report:
The submitted manuscript describes a retrospective data review of organ transplant recipients
who were HCV negative but had received HCV positive organ.
I have the following comments
1. HCV positive status shall be written as anti-HCV positive because HCV positive status falsely
connotate for viremic status
2. Table 1: Authors have described about HBsAg, anti-HBc but the same has not been described
in method section
3. Table 3 can easily be avoided in the manuscript
4. Table 4: can be shortened by avoiding the unwanted information such as about HBsAg, anti-
HBs, HIV etc
5. It seems of limited use to describe about the anti-HCV positive but NAT negative donors. In
my opinion, the analysis shall be restricted to NAT positive donors only
6. All the table need better formatting to make them self-explanatory and easy to understand
for the readers
7. Manuscript needs language editing and better organization
