Version: 2Date:8 May 2008
Reviewer: Peter Malfertheiner
Reviewer's report:
This is a systematic review about GERD symptoms in severely mentally retarded
people that provides important information in the great field of GERD. Although
there were difficulties in comparison of the different studies I have no significant
criticisms of this manuscript. Nevertheless this review visualizes the necessity of
further prospective studies to better evaluate the symptoms of mentally retarded
people to alleviate their complaints and to improve their quality of life.
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.
