advanced fibrosis: NHANES 2005-2010

Reviewer:  Panagiotis Tsibouris
Reviewer's report:
Abstract Parameters evaluated could be presented Higher BMF definition should be provided
Methods Because NAFLD definition has been replaced with MAFLD definition should be
changes Moreover MetFLD and ALD should be excluded since alcojol consumption can affect
pancreatic function Actually authors are doing it in a non-systematic way and according to recent
classification Was lactition a period exluded or not? Numerical values for patients excluded
should be moved in the results section If available special reference should be done for fiber
consumption, devided in solable and non-solable as well as liquids daily consumption  especially
water Moreover comorbidities such as diabetes, parkinson disease or other neurological disease
that could affect bowel motility, in addition to opioids consumption,  should be included in the
analysis Results Because prediction of significant fibrosis based on nomograms is not as specific
it would be interesting to performed an analysis of patients with more robust diagnosis
