Title:Fatty liver index correlates with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, but not
with newly diagnosed coronary artery atherosclerotic disease in Chinese patients
Version: 3Date:16 June 2013
Reviewer: Gianluca Perseghin
Reviewer's report:
The authors put more efforts to demonstrate that they took into account the
potential role of the concomitant therapy, natural history of NAFLD and CAD and
discuss appropriately these limitatons within the text and moreover included
more statistical analysis controlling for drug therapy.
I also appreciated the level of details included in the tables for the supplemental
set of data.
I am still surprised of the not different prevalence of diabetes when the two
groups of pats where segregated by CAD and the non differenet prevalence of
dyslipidemia when segregated by score of FLI.
Level of interest: An article whose findings are important to those with closely
related research interests
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a
statistician.
Declaration of competing interests:
No conflict of interest
