Title: Gender Differences in Gastrointestinal, Biopsychosocial and Healthcare-seeking
Behaviors in Chinese Patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome Predominant with Diarrhea
Version: 1 Date: 12 Nov 2023
Reviewer's report:
The results of this study among Chinese patients with IBS-D showed statistically significant
differences between male and female patients not only in psychosocial factors but in other areas
such as age, BMI, (importantly) education levels, dish styles, and types of food consumed.
The authors would be well advised to provide 95% CI for their data to add more meaning to
these findings, as well as provide similar data in areas other than IBS-D. The latter will tell us
whether the differences extend to the Chinese general population or are restricted to IBS-D
