Title: Translation and Evaluation of the Simplified Chinese Version of the Rating Form of IBD
Patient Concerns
Version: 2 Date: 07 Aug 2022
Reviewer's report:
Thank you for giving opportunity to review your work.  I think the quality of the study is good
and I have only minor questions regarding it:
1.  Please clarify, whether patients  who did not complete the second questionnaire refused to
do so or were lost to follow-up?
2. Given the size of the study and size of China as country, I think it's  not possible to generalize
the study results to whole 'mainland china' as mentioned and the scope should be reduced to a
specific region in the country.
3. Over what time frame (weeks/months) were patients included in the study?
4. Please clarify what the level of education was for those patients, who did not have higher
education.
