Title:A large nationwide population-based case-control study of the association
between intussusception and later celiac disease
Version: 1Date:2 March 2013
Reviewer: Kamran Rostami
Reviewer's report:
In study by Ludvigsson et al., retrospectively investigated the possible correlation
between intussusception and later biopsy-verified coeliac disease in a large
nationwide case-control study in Swedish population. The authors used the
available database which was published before.
The paper is well written and statistically analyzed very well.
Im not entirely convinced that large database can allow us to analyse some
similar variables accurately. This might be the reason that the authors did not find
an association between intussusception and CD. The authors did not talk much
about the limitation and the weakness of this study that I suggest to be added in
discussion.
I also would like to see a better justification for exploring the association of
coeliac disease and intussusception in the introduction.
Level of interest: An article of importance in its field
Quality of written English: Needs some language corrections before being
published
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a
statistician.
Declaration of competing interests:
I have no conflict of interest
