Reviewer's report
Title:Medical and surgical treatment of haemorrhoids and anal fissure in Crohn's
disease: a critical appraisal.
Version: 5Date:15 July 2012
Reviewer: Rick Nelson
Reviewer's report:
I am afraid that my issues with this study remain unchanged. This is a case
series and as such, especially for such a complex condition, cannot assess
efficacy of any procedure for fissure or hemorrhoids. Yet the authors make quite
unequivocal therpeutic recommendations based upon this series. At most these
sort of data might generate hypotheses for further investigation in randomized
trials. But not recommended therapy.
Level of interest: An article of insufficient interest to warrant publication in a
scientific/medical journal
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a
statistician.
