Title:Psychological stress and coeliac disease in childhood: a cohort study
Version: 4Date:27 January 2010
Reviewer: Per Farup
Reviewer's report:
The response given by the authors is well written and to the point, but the
revision of the paper is not so extensive as I had expected.
1. The comments on a type 2 error are short and insignificant without any clear
estimation of differences that might have been missed (except for 95%CI) or
clinical significance of a type 2 error.
2. I still find it incorrect that data from another trial are used to exclude variables
from the analyses in this study, although it is a study based on the ABIS children
Level of interest: An article whose findings are important to those with closely
related research interests
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a
statistician.
Declaration of competing interests:
I declare that I have no competing interests.
