Version: 1Date: 11 Apr 2020
Reviewer: Daniel Spadoto-Dias
Reviewer's report:
Although the conclusions seem pertinent at the end, the text does not have a linearity and clarity in
its elaboration. In the methodology there is no clear idea of what is being researched and what isintended to prove. It has not been properly defined which parameters of the clinical characteristicsare being evaluated.The text makes no mention of other comorbidities present in the studypopulation that may impact their quality of life.In the discussion, there are no in-depthexplanations about the study's findings. An overlap of ideas is presented without an effective logicassociation given the structure in which the study is presented.The wording of the text is not clear;revision of the English language may be necessary; what is being researched and the purpose ofthe study are not well defined, making it difficult to infer strong conclusions.
