Title: Prognostic Value of Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio in Septic Patients with Liver
Cirrhosis: A Cohort Study
Version: 2 Date: 22 Jun 2025
Reviewer's report:
The author states in the revised manuscript that they have added MELD scores to the variables in
the logistic regression analysis of Model I. However, the OR (95% CI) of NLR has not changed
from the original version, the second revised version, and the latest revised version. In fact, they
only added MELD scores in the notes below Table 2. The OR (95% CI) of NLR may change
after adding the variable of MELD score. The author should provide a reasonable explanation
for why the OR (95% CI) of NLR has not changed.
