Title: “Day or night, no matter what, I will go”: Women’s perspectives on challenges associated
with receiving follow-up after abnormal cervical cancer screening results in Iquitos, Peru: a
qualitative study
Version: 1 Date: 03 Mar 2023
Reviewer:  Christopher M. Westgard
Reviewer's report:
This is a wonderful study! Congratulations to the authors for completing the extensive and
valuable research. I recommend the manuscript be accepted for publication. I include a few
recommendations to improve manuscript below.
Line 28. Include qualitative analysis method (thematic analysis). What approach was used to
analysis the interviews?
If you have space in the abstract, mention the model/framework you used to guide the analysis/
presentation of results. It adds value to know that the analysis followed a framework.
Line 102-176. I recommend putting this information in the background section. This is helpful
information to provide background to the study, but it does not describe the study methods.  I
realize that makes for a very long background section, but a reader would rather have a concise
methods section than a concise background/introduction section.
Line 196. I would recommend gathering all information about ethics approval and consent and
include it in a separate paragraph with a heading that indicates such.
Line 213. You could include a sentence about the Framework. Its purpose, where it came from,
why it was chosen, something along those lines.
Line 214. How was the framework used. Another sentence to clarify how it was used to
categorize the results during the analysis and presentation of results will be helpful.
Line 463. How does this coincide with the woman/women that expressed that they do not want
medical treatment but instead want to use natural remedies? The statement written here, and
expressed in other parts of the study, seem to suggest that all the women want treatment from the
medical center (not plant-based, traditional treatment). However, some results suggest that some
women do not want the medical treatment (Line 431). I recommend clarifying that confusion.
Line 499. How does Complex Systems Science help to explain the challenges? I believe a little
more information about Complex Systems Science is needed here to show how it is helpful to
understanding the results. Also, a citation for CSS. A figure in the format of CSS, that labels the
feedback loops and points to the negative consequences would be extremely valuable.
Title: “Day or night, no matter what, I will go”: Women’s perspectives on challenges associated
with receiving follow-up after abnormal cervical cancer screening results in Iquitos, Peru: a
qualitative study
Version: 1 Date: 09 Mar 2023
Reviewer:  Tullio Golia D'auge
Reviewer's report:
In my opinion, this topic analyzed is interesting enough to attract readers’ attention. The goal
of this article is the exploration of the factors associated with loss to follow up among women
with abnormal cervical cancer screening results in peruvian women. I think that the abstract of
this article is very clear.
It’s important to highlight women’s perspectives about prevention protocols.
I suggest another round of language revision, in order to correct few typos and improve
readability.
In my opinion, the discussion could be studied in deep and extended. Maybe, it could be
useful the evaluation of possible algorithms of prevention of cervical cancer and also possible
obstetrical outcomes for cervical cancer for the awareness of women. In particular, I suggest
these articles to get deeper in the topic, respectively : PMID: 35455328, PMID: 33140628.
Considered all this points, I think it could be of interest for the readers and, in my opinion, it
deserves the priority to be published after minor revisions.

Reviewer's report:
I read with great interest the Manuscript titled "“Day or night, no matter what, I will go”:
Women’s perspectives on challenges associated with receiving follow-up after abnormal
cervical cancer screening results in Iquitos, Peru: a qualitative study" which falls within the aim
of the Journal.
With the corrections made by the authors the manuscript is much improved.
However, I renew the suggestions of the previous revision about the surgical treatment and post
operative care of women with cervical cancer. In my opinion the discussion could be made more
interesting by adding references to PMID: 36141917; PMID: 35909005.
After making the changes I will be happy to re-read the article.

Reviewer:  Violante di Donato
Reviewer's report:
In my honest opinion, the authors have responded satisfactorily to many of the reviewers’
criticisms.
Although the authors have made an important effort to make the article eligible for publication,
in my opinion further improvements are needed.
The introduction is satisfactory. Methodology is accurate and conclusions are supported by the
data analysis.
References are relevant to the research. The discussions could be improved citing recent articles
about the prevention of cervical cancer and also possible obstetrical outcomes for cervical cancer
(see PMID: 35455328; 33140628).
For all these reasons, I recommend the publication of the article, pending few minor revisions.

Version: 2 Date: 14 Apr 2023
Reviewer's report:
This study explores a very interesting field since nowadays medical institutions stress the
importance of lowering costs while improving patients outcome and data that can guide
government health expenditure are needed.
The article is very well written in a good english style  and clearly address the association
between MIR, HDI and CHE while maintaining  economic aspects understandable for a medical
audience.
Literature selection seems appropriate and uptodate

Title: Experiences of dysmenorrhea and its treatment among allistic and autistic menstruators:
A Thematic Analysis
Version: 0 Date: 18 Jan 2023
Reviewer's report:
Hi
Thank u for your valuable paper, your paper needs major revision.
Title: Your title is not attractive...you can write the title more attractive for the reader.
Abstract:
• The opening sentence in the background is not appropriate. You wrote an unrelated sentence
and then the aim. Please correct this.
• Please more explain about the method in your study, sampling, analysis, and allistic samples.
• In line 19 “(17 autistic participants; mean age 27.7 years).” The mean age is related to results.
• You need a writing review, For example, in line 26 “and” must be before the last phrase.
Introduction:
• Why did you sectioning the introduction?
• Please connect the contents and respect the sequence of the contents
• Please write gap knowledge of your study
• Line 146: “and experiences of menstruation within allistic populations”. Only allistic
populations????? Isn't the sample of your study both allistic and autistic menstruators?
Methods:
• Please your ethical approval code
• How did they complete the consent form when your interview was online?
• Line 166: what is your mean “. Self-diagnosed autistic people”
• How did you identify autistic people? How was the diagnosis of these people certain for you?
• How did you observe diversity in sampling?
• How did you measure the intensity of period pain?
• Did you include a specific pain threshold in the study? Because surely severe period pains
have a pathological cause
• Your inclusion criteria is very detailed, You have to consider several factors, Please fully
explain the inclusion and  exclusion criteria
• In line 187: “The average length of the interviews was 16:50 minutes.” Was this time enough
to deeply understand the experiences of the participants?
It seems like a short time
A part of the interview is devoted to discussions that are not in line with the aims of your research
and this is unavoidable. So, in order to deeply understand the experiences of the participants,
you have to extend the duration of the interviews.
Results:
• In lines 218-221: Initially, analysis of all data determined four themes (1-3). A further three
themes (4-6) were identified while analyzing data from autistic menstruators separately, in
relation to their experiences of period pain and uptake of treatment.
Please correct the text. You write four themes, 1 to 3: it is 3 themes no four themes
• Themes 3 to 6 didn't have sub-themes?
• Themes and subthemes in the abstract are different from table 3. Please be similar
• You haven't given any explanation about the data saturation.... It seems like you should have
continued with your interviews and your results don't indicate data saturation.
Discussion:
In the discussion section, please do not repeat the results. Compare the similarities and
differences of your study with others.
Title: Experiences of dysmenorrhea and its treatment among allistic and autistic menstruators:
A Thematic Analysis
Version: 0 Date: 21 Feb 2023
Reviewer's report:
The authors provide a qualitative study on whether to explore the experience of period pain
and treatment uptake for period pain within allistic and autistic populations, contributing to the
understanding of menstruation experiences and differences thereof across diverse populations
of menstruators.
Recommendation: The article mentioned above needs major revision.
My specific comments are as follows:
- The introduction is too long. There is no need for so many additional explanations. It should
be summarized.
-  You have mentioned in the method section that the participants were from different countries.
What language was used to conduct interviews and group discussions? How did you call and
invite people to participate in this study?
- You have extracted 6 themes and 6 sub-themes. For 4 of the themes, there is no sub-theme at
all. So how are these themes extracted when there is no sub-theme???! To produce each theme,
you must have at least two sub-themes. It seems that the results are already predictable and the
themes are written while there is no sub-theme mentioned for it!
- The authors mentioned the key themes they identified but they did not explain what those
themes referred to. The way it is presented now it seems the categories were pre-determined,
and quotes were added where they matched.
- How is any rigour controlled in this study? explain it. How was the research team involved
in the analysis process? How was trustworthiness maintained? This needs to be explained.
How was the trustworthiness maintained during data analysis? Was there any member check
involved? Any triangulations among researchers were used?
- In qualitative research, it is important to report about reflexivity.
Title: Associations of LH and FSH with reproductive hormones depending on each stage of the
menopausal transition
Version: 1 Date: 07 Apr 2023
Reviewer:  Hyun Tae Park
Reviewer's report:
This manuscript reports on the relationship between reproductive hormones, FSH and LH at each
stage of the menopause transition. In this paper, it is reported that LH and FSH show different
relationships with reproductive hormones at each stage of the menopause transition. In this
paper, LH, FSH, DHEAS, estradiol, estrone, testosterone, free testosterone, androstenedione and
androstenediol were measured in 173 women by dividing each stage of the menopause transition
into 6 stages. The ideas in this paper are interesting but not new, and some methodological
flaws limit the quality of the evidence presented. There are several weaknesses and there are
many concerns and questions about the manuscript. Therefore, this manuscript is not suitable for
acceptance unless the authors follow the comments and make the description of the manuscript
more accurate and logical.
1. In this study, 173 subjects were selected and divided into 6 groups, with an average of fewer
than 30 subjects in each group. The sample size is relatively small. It is necessary to explain
whether the number of subjects was statistically tested.
2. Is there any particular reason for keeping the blood frozen until it is collected and analyzed?
Evidence is needed that there is no measurement error when the test is performed after frozen
storage.
3. As the authors pointed out, this cross-sectional study has major limitations. A woman's
hormone levels fluctuate during the menopause transition. The evidence that a small number
of cross-sectional studies can provide is limited unless a longitudinal process of change is
identified. If there is a result of observing longitudinal changes by tracking the blood tests of
the subjects, it is necessary to present them. If not, it would be better to increase the number
of study subjects.
Title: Sociodemographic Factors Associated with Anemia Among Reproductive Age Women
in Mali; Evidenced by Mali Malaria Indicator Survey 2021: Spatial and Multilevel Mixed Effect
Model Analysis
Version: 0 Date: 01 Feb 2023
Reviewer's report:
Very interesting manuscript. However, there are some important observations that to be fixed
by author before it can published.
1. The subject is very important but there are some very sensitive aspects that could just be
remove from the analysis. For instance the association between religion and anemia in a country
where more than 95% of the population have the same religion (islam) dont make since. Also
the author try to not include source of drinking water and toilet of the household in to the
determination of the wealthy index of the household. Which is not clear and for me these two
should be included when determining the wealth index of the household.
2. Definition of rural and urban area is not clear: from table 1 we have both region and site but
how this has been defined is not clear. Author should state clearly how urbanization was defined
for this study.
3. Few minors but important are redundancy in the introduction like "Anemia is a serious public
health issue in low-income nations because it affects people from all walks of life" which came
twice and in the last paragraph author said : " It is expected to have the following significance"
and nothing more (end of the sentence. He or she need to make this clear
4. Lastly Koulikoro is not well spelt

Reviewer's report:
This is a comprehensive and detailed investigation of anemia among women of reproductive
age in Mali. While the statistics may be complicated for some readers, the methods, result
presentations, discussions of results, and conclusions are well thought out. The maps are
especially helpful.
I, therefore, recommend that this manuscript be accepted and published by your journal.

My comments on this manuscript is:
1. The author should re-arrange the abstract. Based on the author guideline, the abstract should

2. In the main manuscript, you do not mention the objective of the study yet. As you have
mentioned so many study results, it is should be in-line with the objective of the study.
3. In the main manuscript, you have mentioned on data management and analysis that the p-
value was 0.05, but on your analysis, you used many standard of p-value (p-value < 0.05; p-
value < 0.01; p-value < 0.001), please be consistence.
4. Please put the explanation of “Strengths and limitations of this study” after the “Discussion”
before “Conclusion”.
