Reviewer's report:
Dear authors;
First of all, I would like to congratulate the authors for the study. I think it is a good study.
However, I have a few questions for the authors.
• In my opinion, the age range of the study is very wide. Why were all age groups included in
the study?
• What percentage of the patients were children?
• What percentage of the patients were in the geriatric age group?
• Can physical examination findings be evaluated objectively in pediatric and geriatric patients?
