Title: Clinical applicability of a new scoring system for population-based screening and risk
factors of gastric cancer in the Wannan region
Version: 5 Date: 12 May 2022
Reviewer's report:
The authors have responded to most of my comments.
But I still have concerns about the conclusion. What does "valuable" mean? Authors need
to revise this sentence. Secondly, the sentence "Frequent consumption of green vegetables
frequently was an independent protective factor against GC and precancerous lesions" should
read, "Frequent consumption of green vegetables was an independent protective factor against
GC and precancerous lesions".
Secondly, I am still skeptical about the classification.  Authors have combined histological
classification with anatomical classification. I would  assume that the "gastric ulcer group"
also had gastritis, which could have been non-atrophic or atrophic. Therefore, these groups are
overlapping. Or are authors suggesting that gastric ulcer patients had no inflammation at all? If
that was the case then an explanation is warranted.
