Critical review
تعتبر الدراسة ذات أهمية كبيرة في تحديد معدل انتشار فيروسات التهاب الكبد B و C في منطقة حمص، ولكن هناك بعض النقاط التي يمكن تحسينها. أولاً، قد يكون من المفيد توسيع نطاق الدراسة لتشمل مناطق أخرى في سوريا للحصول على صورة أكثر شمولية. ثانياً، لم تتناول الدراسة بالتفصيل العوامل الاجتماعية والاقتصادية التي قد تؤثر على معدل الإصابة، مثل مستوى التعليم والدخل. ثالثاً، كان من الممكن أن تقدم الدراسة توصيات أكثر تحديداً حول الإجراءات الوقائية والعلاجية بناءً على النتائج. وأخيراً، قد يكون من المفيد إجراء دراسات متابعة لتقييم تأثير البرامج الوقائية التي تم تنفيذها بناءً على هذه البيانات.
