Title: Preoperative Platelet-Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR) as a Prognostic Inflammation Biomarker
in Asian HIV-Infected Patients with Gastric Cancer: A Single-Center Study
Version: 1 Date: 26 Feb 2023
Reviewer's report:
To Authors:
In this manuscript entitled “Preoperative platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) predicts survival
outcomes in HIV-infected patients with gastric cancer: an Asian single center study”, authors
evaluated the prognostic significance of the preoperative system inflammation biomarkers in the
Asian HIV-infected patients with GC. However, there were some problems in this study. You
need to make major revision. Please see comments below:
1. It mentioned that figure 2 and figure 3 were results of CRC, not GC, so the credibility of the
paper is insufficient.
2. Some discussions were not rigorous, such as the relationship between PLR and T cell counts,
which needs more relevant references to support it. And authors also need to construct a more
logical framework to show the usefulness of the article based on the results.
3. Some cited articles do not keep up with recent rapidly developing research progress. Authors
should revise them to better support ideas in your article.
4. We notice that there are still many formatting, grammar and other mistakes in this
paper. Authors need to make further modifications to achieve smooth sentences and standard
formatting.
