Reviewer's report:
Reviewing " Retrieval of lost patients in the system for hepatitis C microelimination: A single-
center retrospective study " from Hsu-Heng Yen et al.
In this manuscript Hsu-Heng Yen et al evaluated campaign for retrieving patients who were
lost to follow-up, for subsequent re-evaluation. 3783 patients with positive anti-HCV antibody
documentation were identified. They found that a significant number of patients with positive
HCV serology were lost for HCV confirmatory test or therapy in the hospital, and this targeted
HCV callback approach in the hospital is feasible and effective in achieving micro-elimination.
The micro-elimination model presented in this paper provides a good reference for the realization
of the elimination of chronic hepatitis C.
The minor comment for the article, the discussion should be supplemented by an analysis of the
reasons why antiviral therapy has not been received after this recall.
It is suggested that the manuscript be accepted with minor revisions.
