Title:Maximizing the general success of cecal intubation during propofol
sedation in a multi-endoscopist academic centre
Version: 3Date:11 September 2010
Reviewer: Russell Heigh
Reviewer's report:
The authors did an excellent job revising the critical aspects of the study. The
study needs just one minor but essential correction, and is then suitable and
ready for publication. The findings are interesting and will be helpful to many
centers considering how to best deliver colonoscopy care to their population.
The error is on page 3 in Background. Rather than the stated expected polyp
detection rates which are inadvertantly reversed, the correct expected rate is
25% in men and 15% in women age 50 or greater undergoing their first
colonoscopy. This minor problem should be simply adressed, and then the paper
should be published. COngratulations to the authors for their important reflection
on their practice, and for the revisions necessary to make the results applicable
to the global community.
Level of interest: An article of outstanding merit and interest in its field
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a
statistician.
