Title:Presentation, aetiology and treatment of adult intussusception in a tertiary
Sub-Saharan Hospital: a 10 year retrospective study
Version:2Date:18 December 2013
Reviewer: Antonio Martín Maya
Reviewer's report:
MAJOR REVISIONS
ALL THE PARTS OF THE MANUSCRIPT MUST BE SHORTENED. THERE
ARE SOME PARTS OF THE INTRODUCTION THAT SHOULD BE
CONSIDERED DURING THE DISCUSSION ( SOME SENTENCES OF THE
EPIDEMIOLOGY , DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT) , SINCE THEY ARE
ABOUT OTHER PUBLICATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS MAKING THE
INTRODUCTION TOO LONG.
REGARDING THE TREATMENT, THE TREATMENT IS CONFUSING IN THE
WAY THAT IT IS EXPLAINED, IS TOO LONG AND IS NOT CLEAR. WHAT IS
THE MEANING OF OPERATIVE SURGERY? I UNDERSTOOD THAT YOU
WERE TALKING ABOUT SOME TYPE OF RESECTION DURING SURGERY
(THIS MUST BE REPLACED).
ALSO YOU SHOULD EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE OTHER
PATIENTS THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE RESECTION, WHAT TYPE OF
TREATMENT THEY RECEIVED?
MINOR REVISIONS
THERE IS A MISTAKE IN ONE OF THE REFERENCES DURING THE
MANUSCRIPT (INSTEAD OF THE NUMBER, THE LAST NAME OF THE
AUTHOR IS MENTIONED)
DISCRETIONARY REVISIONS
IS THE ETHNICITY DESCRIPTION IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THIS
ARTICLE?, OR FOR THE TOPIC YOU ARE DEVELOPING? IF IT IS NOT
IMPORTANT MAKES THE ARTICLE CONFUSING SINCE THE PEOPLE THAT
IT IS NOT IN USE WITH THE ETHNICITY COULD THINK THIS CAN AFFECT
THE RESULTS. IF IT IS IMPORTANT I THINK YOU SHOULD EXPLAIN THE
REASON.
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:
