Title: Normal values for high-resolution anorectal manometry in healthy young adults: Evidence
from Vietnam
Version: 1 Date: 26 Apr 2021
Reviewer's report:
This Manuscript provides normal values in 30 healthy volunteers for the isolab manometry
system.
Methods: the catheter design should be explained more in detailed as sensor design affects
measurements. Which manometry protocol was used? Was the London classification applied
for analysis of results?
Discussion:
an extensive revision is recommended. While the main limitation of the small sample size -
although a power calculation is provided - is briefly discussed , neither the impact of catheter
and sensor design, age , gender and parity are. one paragraph should discuss the measuremnts
obtained in the light of other normal values published. With regards to sensation measuerments
impact of equipment and distension protocol were not discussed sufficiently.
