Title: Care needs profiles of Crohn's disease patients and their associations with symptom
clusters, post-traumatic growth, and family function: A latent profile analysis
Version: 0 Date: 25 Mar 2025
Reviewer:  Katarina Pihl Lesnovska
Reviewer's report:
The manuscript discusses an important and timely issue—care needs among Crohn’s disease
(CD) patients. The authors use latent profile analysis (LPA) to categorize these needs into
distinct groups and then explore the factors influencing these groups. This approach appears to
provide a more nuanced understanding of patient care needs. The study’s design, including the
use of multiple scales and a large sample size, is robust.
The introduction provides useful background information on CD, its impact on patients, and
the significance of understanding care needs in this context. The use of LPA to identify latent
classes of care needs is an innovative and appropriate methodological choice. Please find further
