Title: Physician perspectives of Helicobacter pylori diagnostic and treatment practices in
Canada: Results of a Canadian Survey
Version: 2 Date: 01 Apr 2024
Reviewer:  Po-Ke Hsu
Reviewer's report:
1. Can you explain why family physicians think drug resistance is not a major issue, or why
amoxicillin?
2. Regardless of “the ACG Clinical Guideline: Treatment Of Helicobacter pylori Infection. Am.
J. Gastroenterol. 2017” or “the AGA Clinical practice update on the management of refractory
Helicobacter pylori Infection: expert review. Gastroenterology. 2021” , there are clear treatment
and screening guidelines. Why are the opinions of gastroenterologists and family physicians
still so different?
3. The conclusion part is not clear. This study used a questionnaire to understand the thoughts
of doctors in two specialties. Although it is a good idea, it still has little help for future medical
progress (there is already a guideline for reference). Therefore, the conclusion paragraph still
needs to be streamlined and the topic clearly stated.
