Title: The Experiences of Fertility Concerns in Women with Inflammatory Bowel Disease of
Childbearing Age: A descriptive Qualitative study
Version: 0 Date: 09 Apr 2025
Reviewer's report:
This is an important area of work and the study appears to set out to gain a deeper understanding
of the emotional experiences of women with IBD related to fertility concerns. The introduction
presents a good background to the area. However, my recommendation would be to add more
detail about the finding of previous research that is mentioned to provide greater context for your
work. The methodology used is clear and appears appropriate. I think it would be good to explain
why the inclusion / exclusion criteria were chosen. The results section seems underdeveloped. I
think further analysis is needed, or perhaps further data collection. The themes are lacking in both
depth and breadth. They seem to state some important points but without the necessary context
or evidence of the emotional impact (please see my review report for more detail). I think the
statements in the discussion are overstated based on the results section, which makes me wonder
if perhaps you have not explained fully the findings in the results section. My recommendation
would be to check each of the claims in the discussion do match your findings presented in the
results. I think this has the potential to be a good paper with important insights. However, I think
further data collection or analysis is needed.
