Title:Celiac Disease Profile in the Mediterranean Area
Version:2Date:22 October 2013
Reviewer: RACHELE CICCOCIOPPO
Reviewer's report:
With pleasure I have reviewed the manuscript by Tucci and coworkers exploring
the clinical picture and diagnostic facilities of celiac disease in the Mediterranean
area. The study is well designed and well written, driven by appropriate
methodology, and the results are innovative, thus the manuscript is worth
publishing with minor modification.
Discretionary Revisions
• The title does not allow the reader to understand what the term ‘profile’ would
mean.
• The limits of a retrospective study should be discussed.
• The invasiveness of the perendoscopic biopsy sampling should be commented.
• The graphics of the figures should be improves.
• A full revision of the paper is needed in order to avoid some typing mistakes
such as in the conclusion section of the abstract: references centers # reference
centers.
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.
