Title:Effect of oral lactulose on clinical and immunohistochemical parameters in
patients with inflammatory bowel disease: a pilot study.
Version: 3Date:24 July 2007
Reviewer: Ly-Mee Yu
Reviewer's report:
General
The authors have addressed all my comments. My only 2 comments of the
revised manuscript are:
1. The inappropriateness of the statistical comparison of baseline variables.
Many have argued that this does not have any practical value and potentially
misleading (see the CONSORT statement).
2. Standard deviation should be reported in Table 1 instead of SEM.
What next?: Accept after minor essential revisions
Level of interest: An article whose findings are important to those with closely
related research interests
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: Yes, and I have assessed the statistics in my report.
Declaration of competing interests:
None
