Reviewer's report
Title:Assessment of Preoperative Exercise Capacity in Hepatocellular
Carcinoma Patients with Chronic Liver Injury Undergoing Hepatectomy
Version: 2Date:9 April 2013
Reviewer: Ajith Siriwardena
Reviewer's report:
The authors' have conscientiously attended to the corrections suggested.
One point which arises from their changes is how they were able to categorise
their data according to the Clavien-Dindo classification of post-operative
complications. Normally, these are allocated in real time i.e. for each patient
during the post-operative period. If they were collated in real time, invariably
authors report them at that time. As this classification was not provided with the
original report but added later this should be stated in the text but it is also
important to know how the authors arrived at the data (to ensure that there was
no falsification of data).
Level of interest: An article whose findings are important to those with closely
related research interests
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: Yes, but I do not feel adequately qualified to assess the
statistics.
