Title: Frequency of Human Papilomavirus and associated factors in gypsy and quilombola
women
Version: 10 Date: 19 Jan 2023
Reviewer's report:
I read with great interest the manuscript, which falls within the aim of this Journal. In my honest
opinion, the topic is interesting enough to attract the readers’ attention. Nevertheless, the authors
should clarify some points and improve the discussion, as suggested below.
Authors should consider the following recommendations:
- Manuscript should be further revised in order to correct some typos and improve style.
- Authors should discuss robust pieces of evidence about the use of new strategies for cervical
cancer and pre-cancerous lesions screening and diagnosis, even using  novel biomarkers (authors
may refer to: PMID: 35742340).
- I would recommend to stress novel pieces of evidence about high-risk HPV-negative high-
grade cervical dysplasia, which seems to have more favorable outcomes than patients with
documented high-risk-HPV infection (PMID: 33514481)
- I recommend to add further details to discuss the ongoing debate about the use/avoidance of
minimally invasive surgery for cervical cancer, considering the available pieces of evidence and
the hystotype of the disease (authors may refer to: PMID: 35549629).

Title: Prevalence and effects of menstrual disorders on quality of life of female undergraduate
students in Makerere University College of Health Sciences, a cross sectional survey
Version: 1 Date: 12 Aug 2022
Reviewer's report:
This is a cross-sectional study which seeks to evaluate the Prevalence and effects of menstrual
disorders on the quality of life of students. There is enough data regarding this topic (Lack of
novelty) .however, studies are limited in Uganda.
Introduction:
1-The introduction of the manuscript is too long, please write more briefly.
2 You must explain the scientific background and rationale for the investigation being reported.
3-you must focus on the prevalence of menstrual disorders in your country or region with more
details (Based on studies conducted in Uganda such as George Miiro 2018,  Clare Tanton 2021,
Rose Mary Nakame 2019, etc)
Material and method:
1-It is better to divide the method section into several subsections. The current format is
confusing for authors.
2- Please describe the relevant dates, including recruitment, exposure, follow-up, and data
collection periods.
3-you must give the eligibility criteria and the sources and methods of selecting participants.
4- Clearly define all potential confounders and effect modifiers.
5- Describe any efforts to address potential sources of bias.
6- Please state all statistical methods, including those used to control for confounding.
7- How missing data were addressed
Result:
1-Consider the use of a flow diagram.
2- Report numbers of outcome events or summary measures in the result section.
3- Give unadjusted estimates and, if applicable, confounder-adjusted estimates and their
precision (eg, 95% confidence interval). Make clear which confounders were adjusted for and
why they were included.
4-Results within the abstract (and main body) should be focused on estimates and confidence
intervals and not just p-values, which provide limited information
Discussion:
Discuss the generalizability of the study results.

Reviewer's report:
We recommended “results within the abstract (and main body) should be focused on effect size
and confidence intervals and not just p-values, which provide limited information”
Please calculate the effect size and CI only for the primary and secondary objectives. Qualitative
variables in table 1 do not need these estimates and must be removed.
After revising this paper is publishable.
Title: Comparison of cardiovascular disease risk factors among FiLWHEL (2014-2016), NNS
(2013), and KNHANES (2013-2015) women
Version: 2 Date: 12 Aug 2022
Reviewer's report:
Overall, the paper is well-written, methods are appropriate, and results are presented clearly.
Results of  this study provide interesting and relevant information about effects of migration to
Korea on cardiovascular disease risk factors among Filipino women. I think the results related
to lower CVD risk factors among FW in Korea are particularly interesting and have important
implications related to understanding relationships of dietary patterns with CVD risk.
I am unclear  why US women were included since the purpose seems to be to understand
“susceptibility to CVD among migrant FW in Korea compared to the host population…” (Line
79). The study is consistent with the purpose as stated, but I think in reality, it is more about
comparing CVD risk factors among indigenous Asian women of diverse backgrounds, as stated
in Lines 355-56. I suggest revising  the purpose to reflect this and  excluding the  NHANES
comparisons. To me, including U.S. women does not add to anything relevant to the study.
NHANES includes a diverse population, including those within the Asian population of the
sample, and FW and KW can’t be isolated from the Asian sample. If retained, the reason for
including NHANES needs to be clear, and results need to be tied in with the other results and
discussed.  Additionally, the race/ethnicity of the NHANES participants included in the study
should be provided.
Lines 101-104: Please provide more detail about dietary assessment methods. Did all studies
use the multiple pass method as in NHANES, and I believe in the Korean NHANES? Was the
dietary intake data all based on one day of intake? Differences in dietary assessment methods
could potentially be a limitation to interpreting dietary results.
Reference 14 seems to refer only to the methods of the FilWHEL study. Please provide
references for the methods of the other surveys.

Reviewer's report:
Thank you for addressing comments, particularly re-analyzing the data without NHANES. I

Reviewer's report:
The authors have done a good job of addressing all the comments articulated in the previous
round of submission. However, the section on the discussion linking obesity levels and
socioeconomic status (lines 305-314) could be strengthened by citing the findings and the
reference of the below study by Kulkarni et al. 2017.
Kulkarni, Vani S., Veena Kulkarni and Raghav Gaiha. 2017. ‘Double Burden of Malnutrition’:

Title: Prevalence and Associated Factors of Client Satisfaction with Family Planning Service
among Family Planning Users in Ethiopia: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Version: 1 Date: 06 Feb 2023
Reviewer:  Tamirat Melis
Reviewer's report:
1. Title: - It should include the study population
2. Conclusion part of abstract:-” Strong actions at the level of family planning provision are
needed to tackle the identified issues” should be updated because it is not specific. You had to
specify which specific strong action should be employed to tackle the problem.
3. Introduction:-The introduction part of your document focused on family planning utilization.
But your title is about satisfaction on family planning utilizations. Please focus on satisfaction
and its determinants.
4. Follow Bmc manuscript writing guideline (substitute Introduction with background, and
methodology by methods and materials)
5. Search strategy:-you had used Amhara, Oromiya, Somalia, and Southern Ethiopia as search
terms. Why did not you include other regions in Ethiopia as searching terms?
6. Eligibility criteria:-You had used study design (Crossectional study design) as inclusion
criteria. Do you think it is appropriate to exclude other study design? It is not appropriate.
7. Data processing and analysis:- What does mean by “Point prevalence was presented in forest
pilot format with 95%CI. “?                                                                                                                                 8.
Identification and characteristics of the included studies:- Of the 22 remaining articles, 10 studies
were excluded due to inconsistency with the inclusion criteria set for this study. What are the
criteria that these 10 article made them to be excluded from the study?
9.Hetrogenicity and publication bias:- You had report as “The I2 test results indicate that there
was considerable heterogeneity among the studies”There for you could not estimate the pooled
prevalense of CS.becuase estimating the pooled prevalence for studies which have significant
hetrogeneciety will be unreable.
10.Discussion:- Please remove unneccaessary ideas written in discussion part like”Globally,
implementing critical maternal and infant care is the key strategy to reduce morbidity and
mortality among mothers and their children. Maternal satisfaction with the existing FP services
needs to be addressed in a developing country like Ethiopia”.
11. Discussion:-The justification that you stated for  higher level of family planning  than your
finding was not clear.
12.Conclussion:-The recommendation is not based on your finding
Title: Prevalence and Associated Factors of Client Satisfaction with Family Planning Service
among Family Planning Users in Ethiopia: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Version: 1 Date: 14 Feb 2023
Reviewer's report:
Comments
A. General.
# Number line is not given for ease of assessment. There are too many grammatical and spelling
errors as well as wrong use of tenses that make significant portions of the text very difficult to
understand, also wrong uses of capital letters and punctuation marks.
# Overall, the entire document needs some revision or clarification
B. Title
C. The title is not describing the content that the document contains. Better to change like
this “Prevalence and associated factors of Client Satisfaction with Family Planning Service in
Ethiopia: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis”.
D. Abstract
# Your mentioned CI of OR on line18-19 page 2, you include null value (Waiting time, OR =
0.89, 95%CI (0.29–2.80)). Better to make correction on that.
E. Methods
# Better to put number of articles by each database
# Does “This review excluded studies done outside Ethiopia” is real exclusion as you said already
in Ethiopia at your title.
F. Result and discussion
# It would be interesting to know the relationship between religion and Client Satisfaction with
Family Planning Service. This will give the readers the opportunity to know the effect of religion
with regards to Client Satisfaction with Family Planning Service as it has tremendous effect on
FP service.
# Page 6, line 10 “with FP service” needs correction as the association is with Client satisfaction.
So, it needs correction.
# Be consistent in use of words like waiting time on page 6 line 15-16 and waiting status on
page 6 line 33-34
# The number of subgroups were limited.
# The discussion section did not include some important papers and some considerations are
not justified by the results
# The image used are not in good quality. Better to make image resolution of approximately
300 dpi.
G. References
# Some are not complete, either no journal titles or no page numbers viz: numbers 18, 29.
Title: Prevalence and associated factors of early sexual initiation among youth female in sub-
Saharan Africa: A multilevel analysis of recent demographic and health surveys
Version: 1 Date: 01 Feb 2023
Reviewer:  Elias Yadeta Debele
Reviewer's report:
The article is well-written and organized. The authors also come up with interesting research
work, so I would like to appreciate the efforts made by all authors to come up with such great
work. Here are some of my concerns for your consideration before publication:
1. I think the authors preferred to focus on one side regarding early sexual initiation. However,
males are also part of it. So why are the authors only interested to include in the study only
females?
2. The DHS asked youth females “age at first sexual initiation. I think the authors used this
statement to evaluate the practice of early sexual initiation. Hence, my concern is did all DHS
of sub-Saharan countries used the same cut-off point to measure early sexual initiation that is
15 age years old.
3. Page 8 line 155 replace the word “acrossthe” with across the
4. The authors clearly stated the data analysis method. However, in the analysis table, you missed
to include model one or null mode why? It is better if you incorporate it.
5. The result and discussion are well written.

Title ‘Prevalence and associated factors of early sexual initiation among youth Females in sub-
Saharan Africa: A multilevel analysis of recent demographic and health surveys
The topic is crucial to a global audience considering that early sexual initiation among youth
females impacts neonatal and maternal outcomes, especially in the developing world. However,
it needs some clarifications, and hopefully, my comments will help you to improve your
manuscript.
1. The recommendation should be scientific & logical enough, e.g. how policymakers could
enhance household wealth status?
2. The introduction section seems well written, although there are a few grammatical & spelling
errors
3. Your introduction needs to incorporate the age used to define early sexual intercourse in each
country, do you think every country considers 15 years as a landmark to classify the appropriate
age to have sex?
4. Better to revise the discussion section
5. The limitation part was poorly written …..
6. Please include the Ethical approval number

Title: Unmet Need for Long Acting and Permanent Contraceptives and Associated Factors

Thank you for inviting this manuscript. The theme was essential and vital but after reviewing
the literature, it is well-searched. I think it doesn’t contribute to the scientific community and
no advancement of new knowledge.

Title: Unmet Need for Long Acting and Permanent Contraceptives and Associated Factors
among Married Women in Southern Ethiopia
Version: 5 Date: 06 Feb 2023
Reviewer's report:
The authors have attempted to address each of the reviewer comments and overall the changes
are adequate.  I still have reservations about the quality of the questionnaires used to assess
knowledge and attitudes (many of the attitudes questions seem to better reflect knowledge), but
these constitute one part of the manuscript and are not critical failures.
The manuscript requires significant English language editing to make it publishable and is very
difficult to follow in parts.
There are still some aspects to address:
- Sample size calculation required further clarity. ‘q’ and ‘DE’ are specified under the equation,
but these values don’t appear in the equation itself, so unclear where these are used?
- The reason for non-response (10%) is unclear, given people were being interviewed face to
face. What were the reasons for non-participation, or is this 10% loss including those that were
needing to be excluded for not meeting the inclusion criteria? This isn’t clear
- I don’t understand how the six different attitude questions consisting of a 5 point likert scale
were condensed into a single binary variable representing positive or negative attitudes. Please
explain

Married Women in Southern Ethiopia
General comment
The manuscript is improved, but not as such meets the standard of publication.
=  The manuscript still needs copy editing, for example, on line 34, you should not say age
women, you should say women's age.
= On page 3, the information given about the study area should be cited by references.
= On page 7, lines number 185 to 186, on the categories of knowledge level, I will suggest you
make good, moderate, and poor instead of better, good, and poor.
=  On page 7, line number  188 to 189, the Likert scale was inversely described and interpreted.
strongly disagree should be 1, disagree should be 2......etc. This determines the mean, finding,
and interpretation.
= on page 19, the conclusion and recommendation, need to be rewritten with the interpretation
of the finding, you should not repeat the finding.
