Reviewer: VICTORIA MARTINEZ
Reviewer's report:
Reconozco que es un trabajo muy bueno y necesario para que la comunidad medica se conciencie
en la gran afectación que tiene la esfera sexual en los pacientes crónicos. Lo único criticable es queen la literatura esta mas que demostrado que la obesidad es por si mismo un factor de riesgo parapadecer una disfunción sexual. Observando el trabajo se ve que las dos poblaciones no sonhomogéneas en este sentido. Como se interpreta en los datos el grupo de diabetes tiene un IMCmayor con criterios de obesidad con una diferencia significativa con respecto a la poblacióncontrol. Este dato puede sesgar los resultados finales. Aconsejo que del grupo de diabetes seescojan solo los casos que no tienen obesidad y se compare con el grupo control que por lo queparece no son obesas. Por lo demás el trabajo es muy coherente e interesante.
