This is the peer-review report for “Use of a Specialist Telephone Consultation Line for Long COVID in Primary Care in British Columbia: Retrospective Descriptive Quality Improvement Study.”

Round 1 ReviewGeneral Comments

This paper [1] is structured well, with an analysis of the data obtained. The authors need to present how this data will assist the province with some figures or data.

Specific CommentsMajor Comments

The authors mention that 6 calls were excluded but never gave an analysis of the trend of the calls.

Can the 6 calls drive some conclusions that can assist with the paper?

Can the authors give a trend line for the period of these calls and if there are related cases of different calls?

None declared.
