Title:Antibiotic exposure in pregnancy and risk of coeliac disease in offspring: a
cohort study
Version:1Date:25 January 2014
Reviewer: Patrizia Brigidi
Reviewer's report:
The paper ³Antibiotic exposure in pregnancy and risk of coeliac disease in
offspring: a cohort study² is an epidemiology-based study, investigating the
possible association between antibiotic exposure during pregnancy and the
coeliac disease onset in offspring.
The manuscript is well written, the aim and the design of the study well
described. Unfortunately, no statistically significant association between antibiotic
treatment in pregnancy and coeliac disease in offspring was found, and therefore
the interest of the results reported is limited. The discussion is rather
long-winded, if we consider the result presented, and it should be shortened.
