Reviewer's report:
Dear authors the title you are studying is crucial but I have concerns and comments for
corrections.
1. Between line numbers 4-9, please add your affiliations, emails and telephone number, p.o.
box and fax number.
2. In line 36, please give the title, which is introduction before you write the sub heading which
is background.
3. In line 106, “Materials and Methods” correct to Methods and materials.
4. In lines 107-116, merge the two subheadings and make then as study area and period and then
make the study design a separate sub heading. When writing about the study area, first write
about Bahardar city, the population and then the health service institutions.
5. In lines, 117-121, summarize in to one sentence, which is only about the study design.
6. From lines, 122-139, of the data collection procedure is not clear. It needs a through revision
and correction. Since the data collected were chart review, why COVID-19 prevention measures
were a concern and is it now a public health concern?
7. There are a lot of missing sections in the methodology such as, populations, eligibility,
sampling technique, sample size calculations, study variables, operational definitions etc.
8. I have not seen the treatment outcome.
9. In table 2, there is no need of writing the keys since there is an abbreviation sections.
10. In the associated factors table at line number 193-196, you should add the cross tabulation
in order to understand very easily.
