in a large Taiwanese population study
Version: 1 Date: 20 Feb 2024
Reviewer's report:
This study mainly studied the prevalence and related risk factors of GERD in Taiwan, and further
analyzed the gender differences among GERD patients, and also proved that gender was not an
independent factor affecting the occurrence of GERD. It was a large sample and comprehensive
study, and I appreciate the authors the how they prepare the study. But the manuscript still has
some shortcomings.
1. The first paragraph of the introduction, lines 11-13, "Symptoms of GERD... More than in
females "citation was missing.
2. Please check the citations 7 and 8 were quoted correctly
3. In the results part, it was found that there was no age difference between the sexes in GERD
patients, but in the discussion section, how do you come to the conclusion "as women tend to
live longer than men, this may explain the higher prevalence of GERD."? so please check again
the casual inference in the discussing part was right.
4. Your manuscript needs careful editing and particular attention to English grammar, spelling,
sentence structure and punctuation mark.
