Title:A Point-of-Care test for facing the burden of undiagnosed celiac disease in
the Mediterranean area: a pragmatic design study
Version:3Date:5 November 2014
Reviewer: Stefano Guandalini
Reviewer's report:
This paper is the result of an international collaboration aimed at investigating the
usefulness and feasibility of the widespread use of a point of care diagnostic test
for celiac disease, with focus on its possible implementation in rural or less
affluent areas of the Mediterranean basin.
The study offers valuable findings.
This reviewer only has 2 comments:
1. Even though the English style is overall good and fluent, some awkward
expressions must be polished to further improve its readability. (For instance:
"what the factors are that can influence… " sounds awkward and should be
morphed into "what are the factors that…").
2. The discussion is lengthy and its shortening would contribute to an better flow.
Level of interest: An article of importance in its field
Quality of written English: Needs some language corrections before being
published
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a statistician.
