Title: A randomized, controlled trial of oral sulfate solution versus polyethylene glycol for
bowel preparation for colonoscopy
Version: 1 Date: 16 Mar 2025
Reviewer's report:
Dear Authors,
Thank you for submitting your manuscript to BMC Gastroenterology. Your study on comparing
the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of oral sulfate solution (OSS) and polyethylene glycol (PEG)
for bowel preparation before colonoscopy is of great interest and clinical relevance.
However, before we can consider accepting your manuscript, several issues need to be
addressed:
Research Design: Please provide more details about the randomization process and blinding
procedures.
Results: Consider including more detailed information about the distribution of BBPS scores,
such as mean and standard deviation values.
Discussion: Focus more on the clinical implications of your findings and how they can influence
clinical practice.
Limitations: Acknowledge and discuss the lack of blood electrolyte tests before and after bowel
preparation.
Language: Correct minor language issues to improve readability.
Once these revisions are made, your manuscript will be more suitable for publication in BMC
Gastroenterology.
Sincerely,
