Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Interesting and novel paper studying the relationship of ITGaM and ITGb2 integrins for long covid syndrome.
Major corrections:
Study methodology is not clear. Pulmonary manifestation is defined by imaging - is it at diagnosis or follow up? Was imaging repeated after 3 months follow up as well? Did all the patients at 3 months follow up had symptoms of long covid?
What is the reason to decrease sample size to 80? How were they further selected/filtered?
Minor changes:
Commas are mentioned in most of the places instead of decimal point which needs to be replaced
