Title:Antibiotic exposure and the development of coeliac disease: A nationwide
case-control study
Version: 1Date:19 February 2013
Reviewer: Federico Biagi
Reviewer's report:
In this paper Mårild et al studied a possible relationship between antibiotic
exposure and the development of coeliac disease. Although the results seem
negative to me, I think this is an interesting and well performed study. The
authors have correctly presented their results discussing pro & cons. I am
sincerely convinced that negative studies deserve the same consideration of
positive ones.
Level of interest: An article whose findings are important to those with closely
related research interests
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a
statistician.
