Reviewer's report:
This study reports on “Inflammatory bowel disease Patients' Perspectives of non-medical needs:
Exploratory Factor Analysis and Confirmatory Factor Analysis”. The topic is of interest.
However, I accept manuscript after major revision.
- Some suggestions are listed below, which may be useful to the authors as they seek to revise
their manuscript.
1) I recommend consulting the STROBE guidelines to write the manuscript.
2) Regarding the scientific writing, the submitted manuscript is not on a publishable level yet.
Many issues with cohesiveness of the paragraphs, use of strong superlatives and the use of
punctuation tools. The manuscript needs rounds of proofreading and comprehensive revision.
