Title: Characteristics and factors related to quality of life in Mexican Mestizo
patients with celiac disease.
Karen Lizzete Ramírez-Cervantes MD, José María Remes-Troche MD, María del
Pilar Milke-García PhD, Viridiana Romero Nutr, ,Luis F Uscanga MD, FACG.
1: Study question and objectives are well posed and stated
2: The methods are well described and are appropriate for the nature of the
study, but in Page 5 line 118. : I think the writers have to describe more precisely,
how long "AFTER" starting the gluten-free diet the patients respond the EuroQol
5D ?, because to see changes in symptoms and other aspects of life would
require a few months on the diet.
3: Limitations are specific
4: Data presentation in Tables is complete
5 The discussion and conclusions are well balanced and adequately supported
by the data but the authors have to describe point 2.
6 The authors clearly acknowledge any work upon which they are building, both
published and unpublished
7 The title and abstract accurately convey what has been found
Level of interest: An article of importance in its field
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: Yes, but I do not feel adequately qualified to assess the
statistics.
