Title:Prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease in two districts of Sri Lanka: a
hospital based survey
Version: 2Date:18 January 2010
Reviewer: Ole Høie
Reviewer's report:
Dear Editor
I find the revision made by the authors quite acceptable. However, concerning
disease activity (page 5 para 2 line 9)it looks to me if the disease activity is
cathegorized according to the opinion of the investigators. Even if the division of
disease activity is based on endoscopic and histologic findings, no validated
scoring system (like e.g. the SCCAI or Harvwy-Bradshaw) seems to have been
used. If so, I suggest this to be stated in the paper.
With best regards
Ole Høie
Level of interest: An article of importance in its field
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a
statistician.
