Title:The Prevalence of Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease and Esophageal
Dysmotility in Chinese Patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
Version:3Date:21 November 2014
Reviewer: fernando Herbella
Reviewer's report:
The authors did not acknowledged the possibility of gerd due to an increased
transdiaphragmatic pressure gradient. They assume gerd occurs only due to a
defective barrier. This may not be true in patients with pulmonary diseases as
shown by the own results of the manuscript.
The manuscript, after revision, became too long, confusing, discuss unrelated
topics and languague is really poor.
Level of interest: An article of limited interest
Quality of written English: Not suitable for publication unless extensively edited
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a statistician.
Declaration of competing interests:
