'Cost-benefit analysis was measured in terms OF quality-adjusted life years ...' Response (2): This has been corrected to cost-utility analysis “A cost-effective analysis was conducted for the primary outcome (incremental costs per unit improvement in PG-SGA) while a cost-utility analysis (CUA) was undertaken for the secondary outcome (incremental costs per quality adjusted life year (QALY) gained).” Comment (3) Introduction Can you add the aim of your study clear and specific (e.g. according to PICO). Response (3): The aims of the study has now been mentioned clearly as advised by the reviewer. (page 7) “The objective of the present analysis is to detail the methods and report upon the findings of an economic evaluation undertaken to assess whether the individualized nutrition intervention was value for money. The results of the evaluation will help determine whether allocation of resources for improvement of nutritional status of older hospitalized patients is justifiable.” Comment (4) Methods: Study design and location The title doesn't cover the content. Besides design and location, also datacollection, ethical considerations, setting, and participants are described. This paragraphs reads difficult because of a lack of coherence, structure, and logical sequence of the content. Response (4) We have changed the title to “Economic evaluation of an extended nutritional intervention in older Australian hospitalized patients: a randomized controlled trial” to better reflect the contents in the manuscript.
