Title: The Risk for Celiac Disease after Covid-19 Infection
Version: 3 Date: 20 Mar 2023
Reviewer's report:
The work by J. Lexner et al. assess the risk for celiac disease after COVID-19 infection. The
work is well written as there are no big gramatical or language mistakes. The strenght of this
work is a complementary disscussion. Most of my concers were adressed there.  However there
are several issues to be addressed.
In Abstract:
line 8 - potential association between CD and COVID-19 were already studied. Please delete
or rewrite that sentence.
In Introduction:
page 3, line 28 - please provide also the abbreviation for respiratory syncytial virus as its more
commonly used.
In Patients and methods:
page 4, line 23/24 - you wrote that PIN number is "given at birth or immigration". I think
you should changed it to "given at birth or during naturalization" or "given at birth and to the
immigrants" to make it more clear.
page 5, line 7/8 - you used the biopsy's arrival date as the date of CD diagnosis. Why didn't you
use the exact date of diagnosis?
page 5, lines 24-34 and page 6, line 1-19  - very detailed description of COVID 19 and tTG-ab
detection techniques are provide. I think it is uneccessary to have that information as your study
used the data derived from registeries. This information should be deleted from your manuscript.
In Results:
page 9, Figure 2 - In your manuscript you wrote that the time between COVID-19 and CD was
evenly distributed and there is a reference to Figure 2. I think that this figure at first sight is not
very informative as I really cannot say how many point there are in left and right part of the
figure. You could delete that figure or try to make it more clear.
page 9, figure 2 - title of the figure should be changed to "Days from Covid-19 to celiac disease
diagnosis"
In Discussion:
page 10, line 14/15 - The content of last sentence is repeated. Please delate that sentence.
