Reviewer's report
Title:Reproductive life disorders in Italian celiac women. A case-control study.
Version: 3Date:20 April 2010
Reviewer: Lorete Maria M da Silva Kotze
Reviewer's report:
1. I agree with the reviewer that showed new statistical revision is necessary.
2. Only 41.9% of the patients submitted to intestinal biopsy is a weakness point.
3. They referred the probability of nutritional deficiencies involved in the
problems, but they did not mentioned that the patients were undernourished. I
demonstrated that the problems are independent of the nutritional status of the
patients (KOTZE LMS - Gynecologic and obstetric findings related to nutritional
staus and adherence to a gluten-free diet in Brazilian patients with celiac disease
- J Clin Gastroenterol 2004: 38:567-74). So, more considerations are pertinent
for explain the changes.
4. The results could be distributed in the manner that the readers could
understand easily the findings and the correlation with the clinical practice.
My previous considerations about the other items are the same.
