Title: Helicobacter pylori infection in Iran: demographic, endoscopic and pathological factors
Version: 3 Date: 15 Mar 2021
Reviewer's report:
The authors conducted a cross-sectional study, and tried to compare the demographic,
endoscopic, and pathologic findings in patients with and without H. pylori infection in Iran.
However, the authors did not mention which criteria or guideline was used for the endoscopic,
histologic evaluation, which is the main outcome of the study. The methods section lacks lots
of essential components. They suggested that there were significant relationship between some
clinical factors and the presence of H. pylori infection, but this should be suggested with a
multivariate analysis, which is not performed in this study. In addition, some endoscopic findings
were different from previous knowledges (ulcers not more frequent in H. pylori group), which
was not adequately explained in the discussion section. Honestly, there seems to be nothing new
or important in what the authors are trying to show.
There are too many English grammar mistakes and typos. Tables and Figures need to be
reviewed and revised thoroughly.
