Title: IMAGING-BASED DIAGNOSIS OF SARCOPENIA FOR TRANSPLANT-FREE
SURVIVAL IN PRIMARY SCLEROSING CHOLANGITIS
Version: 2 Date: 19 Feb 2024
Reviewer:  Tajana Filipec Kanižaj
Reviewer's report:
The paper represents cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the predictive value of the
cross-sectional imaging-based skeletal muscle index (SMI) for transplant-free survival (TFS)
in patients with PSC.
Sarcopenia is a multifactorial process associated with various liver diseases. Is it possible, from
the results of the study, to answer the question about a possible differences in the prevalence of
sarcopenia depending on various types of complications of PSC (cirrhosis, cholangitis, dominant
stenosis/malignant stricture) and type/activity of inflammatory bowel disease?
What is the impact of sarcopenia on the outcome of PSC recipients after liver transplantation?
The title, abstract, manuscript organization, discussion, table are appropriate.
Language requires minor polishing to achieve precision, clarity and grammatical correctness.
