Reviewer's report
Title:Predictors of Esophageal Varices in Patients With HBV-related Cirrhosis: A
retrospective study
Version: 2Date:28 November 2008
Reviewer: Roberto de Franchis
Reviewer's report:
Major compulsory revisions:
The Authors have responded to my remarks. However, re-checking of the
English language by a native English speaker and eliminating typographical
errors is still mandatory: here are some examples:
• page 6, 3rd line from bottom: “dominated” should be “denominated”
• Page 7, 3rd line from bottom of the Results section, and Page 8, line 23 from
top: “ov” should be “ EV”
• page 8, 7th line from top: “160000/mm3” should be “160000/mm3exponential “
• page 8, lines 8-9 from top: “Until recently, a conflict result was revealed..”
should be “Recently, a conflicting result was reported”
• Page 8, 2nd line from bottom: “date” should be “data”
Many more similar errors exist throughout the text
Level of interest: An article of limited interest
Quality of written English: Needs some language corrections before being
published
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a
statistician.
Declaration of competing interests:
