Title:Diabetes and insulin use are linked to Helicobacter pylori eradication
Version: 5Date:20 February 2012
Reviewer: Kazunari Murakami
Reviewer's report:
Authors report the relationship between incidence of HP radication and Diabetes.
This is a very interesting report, however, some problems are listed below.
1. In the manuscript, a phrase of “the risk of HP eradication” appears frequently.
“Risk” may be often used as an epidemiological term, but the word “incidence”
may be better. It should be changed.
2. Page 9, line 16, please explain the mean of “a higher activity of HP infection in
the diabetic patients”
3. Page 10, line 11, Authors mention that HP eradication dose not related on the
reduction of intestinal metaplasia(IM). But there are a lot of papers which mention
improvement of IM after HP eradication. Authors should refer them for
discussion.
Level of interest: An article of importance in its field
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: Yes, and I have assessed the statistics in my report.
