Reviewer 2 Report
The report of Ruaro B. et al. is well written and explores deeply the therapies in patients affected by systemic sclerosis relative to pulmonary hypertension.
Major points to address:
- Table 1. Even the table is detailed, it would be more comprehensive with more coincise and schematic description (for example first line Therapy: PDE5i are the first line......should be PDE5i in : -77% typical IPAH p.; 81% atypical...).. Outcome: Die for PH-related complication .. and so on...
- Table 2 : as table 1, table 2 should be more schematic
- Paraghaph 2 Screening procedure: line 2 WHILE should move after in particular.....after catheterization is RESERVED (USED, UTILIZED) FOR DIAGNOSIS
