Reviewer's report:
In this paper entitled “Upper gastrointestinal endoscopic findings in functional constipation
and irritable bowel syndrome diagnosed using the Rome IV criteria: a cross-sectional survey
during a medical check-up in Japan”, the authors examined the upper GI endoscopic findings
and symptoms of subjects with FC and IBS of individuals undergoing a medical check-up.
I would like to add a comment, which I believe would make this article better.
Major comment
1. In this study, the authors examined H. pylori antibodies and history of eradication, but these
cannot be used to evaluate current, existing, or uninfected H. pylori infection. Since H. pylori
status has a significant impact on upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, this item should be added
to the limitation.
