Abstract/Summary

Responding to Mori (2025), we discuss that the simplifications and implications of the Tea Bag Index are essential to its ease of use. However, they necessitate careful attention, especially regarding the appropriate incubation time. Aligning with Mori (2025), we call for a deeper understanding of the interpretation of k_TBI.
