Dear Editor, We thank Dr. Jian Xie for the valuable inputs on our paper titled 'Chronic mechanical irritation and oral squamous cell carcinoma: A systematic review and meta-analysis [1].' The first concern of Dr. Xie was that we had included two studies that were based on the same population. We re-examined these papers, one was published in 2010 [2] and the other in 2017 [3] by the same group of authors. Given the significant time difference between the two papers, we did not want to presume they were from the same sample population. There is no clear evidence that they are from the same sample population. Read more in PDF.
致编辑，
我们感谢谢建博士对我们题为“慢性机械刺激与口腔鳞状细胞癌：系统评价和荟萃分析[1]”的论文提出的宝贵意见。谢博士首先关注的是，我们纳入了两项基于同一人群的研究。我们重新检查了这两篇论文，一篇发表于 2010 年[2]，另一篇发表于 2017 年[3]，均出自同一组作者。鉴于这两篇论文发表时间相隔较长，我们不想假定它们来自同一样本人群。没有明确的证据表明它们来自同一样本人群。更多内容请查看 PDF。
