Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:One limitation in our study was its retrospective design that could not keep up with the dynamic nature of the disease; more prospective studies with serial determination of biomarkers’ levels at different disease stages are still required for better definition of the cut off points that could predict the progression of the disease. our study was its retrospective design that could not keep up with the dynamic nature of the disease; more prospective studies with serial determination of biomarkers’ levels at different disease stages are still required for better definition of the cut off points that could predict the progression of the disease.
