Reviewer's report
Title:Determinants of Polyp Size in Patients Undergoing Screening Colonoscopy
Version: 1Date:8 August 2011
Reviewer: Brooks Cash
Reviewer's report:
This is an interesting report that identifies several factors that appear to be
related to larger polyp size, including race, age, site of colonoscopy, multiplicity.
Major compulsory revisions
There is a misspelling in the abstract (form should be from).
Minor essential revisions
None
Discretionary revisions
The discussion of longitudinal history of polyps is a little out of place here since
this data originates from a single point in time for each patient. The authors may
want to discuss other studies that have evaluated risk factors associated with
polyp size to put the results of this trial in greater clinical perspective.
Please address hypotheses to explain why private practice patients tend to have
larger polyps?
Level of interest: An article of importance in its field
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a
statistician.
