Title:Dietary Guideline Adherence for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
Version:2Date:22 June 2014
Reviewer: davide festi
Reviewer's report:
The study by Kubo et al is clinically important; the manuriteria: the manuscript is
well written and the results well explained. There is a question regarding the
inclusion criteria: the Authors enrolled patients with a physician-assigned GERD
diagnosis and the considered symptoms were heartburn and acid regurgitation. It
is well known that the clinical picture of GERD may be characterized by typical
symptoms (such as heartburn) but also by atypical symptoms (such as
non-cardiac toracic pain, etc). Did the Authors enrolled also patients with atypical
symptoms?
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.
Declaration of competing interests:
None
