Title: Uncovering the Gap: Coeliac Disease Knowledge Among Healthcare Professionals in the
Danube Region
Version: 3 Date: 24 May 2024
Reviewer's report:
In this paper Riznik et al studied “coeliac disease knowledge among healthcare professionals in
the Danube region”. They concluded that knowledge is not satisfactory. Although the paper is
clear and well written, my concern is related to what the authors consider a satisfactory level and
what cut-off would be satisfactory. The study is based on a 22 question questionnaire (supplem
1). Some of these questions are very easy, but others are very difficult. Others are debatable. For
example, I wonder what is the right answer to Q7 and 10. I do not understand the reason why
the answer “I do not know” is available in only some questions.
