| Abstract | As you mention in the Methods section acyclovir, famciclovir and valacyclovir may be prescribed for other types of herpes infections such as genital or oral herpes, and therefore prescriptions with words related to these disease in the patient information text will be omitted. However, in Results it is not specified the proportion of prescription confirmed by the patient text information to be herpes zoster related, the proportion of prescriptions omitted because they were related to other diseases and the proportion of prescriptions with no text information. These data would be important to assess the predictive value of the antiviral drugs prescriptions to identify herpes zoster cases. |
