Title: Cholelithiasis and Cholecystitis in Children and Adolescents: does this increasing
diagnosis require a common guideline for pediatricians and pediatric surgeons?
Version: 1 Date: 18 Jan 2021
Reviewer:  Craig A. Friesen
Reviewer's report:
This is a well designed study which presents novel and interesting data. I particularly appreciate
the inclusion of 2 different methods of assessment that are complementary. I only have two
comments both of which should be considered quite minor.
1. The phrase "showed a certain insecurity" (last paragraph on pg. 11) is curious and the intent
not clear to me.
2. The authors call for the development of evidence-based pediatric guidelines" (last paragraph
on pg. 13)- it would be of interest  for the authors to lay out their ideas of what evidence is
lacking and what questions still need to be answered in order to develop such guidelines.
