Title:Celiac disease risk varies between birth cohorts, generating hypotheses
about causality: evidence from 36 years of population-based follow-up
Version:1Date:5 March 2014
Reviewer: Kaija-Leena Kolho
Reviewer's report:
This is an interesting registry-based report on the incidence of pediatric celiac
disease in Sweden during a 36 year time period. The study is well written and
solid, statistical methods are appropriate. Minor comments to improve the clarity:
1. Abstract: Indicate that the average number of new cases is an estimate in the
early year as the coverage of the register was approximately 15% during the
early years and complete from 1998.
2. Clinical impact: see the comment above.
Minor, not for publication
1. Abstract: Methods: correct the font and spelling in the first "the"
2. Background, last paragraph, last references: correct to 6-9
3. References: check all the journal abbreviations as there are several incorrect
abbreviations
Level of interest: An article of importance in its field
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: Yes, and I have assessed the statistics in my report.
