Title: Persistence of Anemia in patients with Celiac Disease despite a Gluten Free Diet: A
retrospective study

Reviewer's report:
Dear Editor,
I should first thank for inviting me as potential reviewer to read and comment on paper entitled
‘’Persistence of Anemia in Celiac Disease patients despite a Gluten Free Diet: A retrospective
study’’.
In the current study, the authors aimed to evaluate the prevalence of anemia in both adult and
pediatric CD patients at the diagnosis and during a long period of GFD.
The main title accurately reflects the major topic and content of the study.
The abstract summarizes and reflects the work described in the manuscript. Also, the abstract
presents the significant points related to the background, objectives, materials and methods,
results and conclusions.
The materials and methods sufficiently described for the results and conclusions that are
presented in the preceding sections. The study type and design were defined in the section of
the materials and methods. Inclusion and exclusion criteria are well defined. Figures and tables
are sufficient and well-organized. Ethics Committee approval was received. So, the section
materials and methods is adequate.
The statistical methods used are appropriate.
The section of the discussion is well organized. The conclusions are drawn appropriately
supported by the literature. The manuscript adequately describes the background, present
status and significance of the study. The manuscript interprets the findings adequately and
appropriately, highlighting the key points clearly.
I think that it will contribute to the literature. I have some minor criticisms.
- The manuscript appropriately cites the important and authoritative references but does not cite
the recent published articles in the Introduction part of the manuscript. If the recent published
article about celiac disease for example ‘’ Celiac disease in children: A review of the literature.
World J Clin Pediatr. 2021 Jul 9;10(4):53-71’’ and ‘’Clinical evaluation of children with
celiac disease: a single-center experience. Arch Clin Gastroenterol 2020; 6: 26-30’’ and ‘’ The
frequency of celiac disease in children with chronic constipation. Kuwait Med J 2021; 53:
383-387’’ are cited, the manuscript would be better.
- Also, the authors do not cite the recent published articles in the Discussion part of the
manuscript at the following sentence. If the recent published article about celiac disease and
anemia for example ‘’ ‘’Clinical evaluation of children with celiac disease: a single-center
experience. Arch Clin Gastroenterol 2020; 6: 26-30’’ are cited, the manuscript would be better.
At that manuscript, the prevalence of anemia was found 19.8%
‘’Among the latter, anemia is the most common, and its prevalence is reported from 12% to 69%
in patients with a new CD diagnosis[32,33]’’
