Title:Efficacy of Early Immunomodulator Therapy on the Outcomes of Crohn's
Disease
Version:5Date:25 February 2014
Reviewer: renato caviglia
Reviewer's report:
There is 1 Major Compulsory Revision:
Results: Predictive factors related to disease relapse. In this paragraph I suggest
to reanalyze the data using the normal values of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (
<15 mm#hr), C-reactive protein level (< 8 mg#L), and
hematocrit level (40.4-52%) instead of the selected cut-off points of 54, 8.1, and
37.6 (mean level of the study population) when performing the univariate analysis
to identify predictors of relapse.
Tab 2 should be re-edited according new data.
There are Minor Essential Revisions:
1) Spelling mistakes in pag 7: Results Baseline patient characteristics
Level of interest: An article whose findings are important to those with closely
related research interests
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a statistician.
