Title: Comorbid Psychiatric Disorders and Long-Term Survival after Liver Transplantation in
Transplant Facilities with a Psychiatric Consultation-Liaison Team: a Multicenter Retrospective
Study
Version: 4 Date: 24 Feb 2023
Reviewer's report:
This is a retrospective, non-randomized, observational study report with the title “Comorbid
Psychiatric Disorders and Long-Term Survival after Liver Transplantation in Transplant
Facilities with a Psychiatric Consultation-Liaison Team: a Multicenter Retrospective Study”.
The authors had made many revisions to the manuscript according to the reviewer’s suggestion
and the reviewer could accept the revisions made for the second review. The authors should
consider the impact for liver transplantation care in psychiatry. The reviewer has the following
questions about this manuscript:
1. The authors discussed the reason to explain that their outcome did not match other studies.
However, the authors did not address the conflicting results and discussion in their manuscript.
The manuscript stated that “Delirium and major depressive disorder were significantly
associated with shorter survival time, but insomnia was not (Table 3).” However, after further
discussion of the statistics, the manuscript then also states that “The results showed that delirium,
insomnia, and major depressive disorder did not significantly affect survival.” What is the
reason for these conflicting statements and what is the final conclusion? Do delirium and major
depressive disorder affect survival or not?
2. The reviewer appreciates the further discussion made in the results regarding hospitalization
days in the regression models. However, the tables still do not reflect the changes made.
The manuscript still needs to be minorly revised for meaningful impact to the field of psychiatry.
