Title: Proportion and Associated Factors of Maternal Complications of Cesarean Sections
Among Mothers Who Deliver at Bahirdar City Public Specialized Hospitals, Bahir Dar,Ethiopia.
Version: 2 Date: 20 Jan 2023
Reviewer's report:
Eventhough there are many things that should be improved before considering publication in
the journal, the author tried to address the proportion and associated factors of Cesarean section
delivery.
1. There are grammatical and spelling errors in the document which should be revised
accordingly.
2. In the abstract part the authors used the word multivariate and bivariate which should be
multivariable and bivariable.
3. The main objective is Cesarean section delivery complication, why you repeatedly used
maternal complication?
4. The introduction part is not written in a coherent and scientific manner. It requires very
detailed revision. The word background should be changed to introduction and the authors
should follow a logical sequence and proper citation when describing Cesarean section delivery
and the it should be short and precise rather than expression of same idea in a different paragraph.
5.In methods part the objective of the study should be removed. It is unnecessary to mention it
in the methods part if you describe in the abstract part.
6. In the study area and period it is better to describe the available human resource and the
service provided in the department. For example how many gynecologists, how many midiwifes
and residents.
7. The sample size calculation and sampling technique description is not clear. Why you didn't
use design effect as your study is multcenter?
8. Your dependant variable is Cesarean section delivery complication but you operationalize
maternal complication. Try to be consistent throughout the document. socioddemographic
factrors should be specified in your independant variable list.
9. The author used used secondary data. This may not give an appropriate conclusion, especially
for the risk factors of complication.
10. How do you operationalize urban from secondary data?
11.  "Data was coded......" Data were coded..........
12. In your discussion part there are around many (more than eight) studies done in Ethiopia.
So what novel output will add to your study?
13. "The magnitude of maternal complication of cesarean section was higher than most studies".
This should be revised.
14. The table format especially for the descriptive part is self-explanatory. It should be clear
and self-explanatory.
Title: Proportion and Associated Factors of Maternal Complications of Cesarean Sections
Among Mothers Who Deliver at Bahirdar City Public Specialized Hospitals, Bahir Dar,Ethiopia.
Version: 2 Date: 23 Jan 2023
Reviewer's report:
Line 93-95:-The overall maternal intra-operative complication rate was 14.8% with post
operative morbidity rate of 35.7%. In a study done in Ethiopia, overall maternal complications
of cesarean delivery were found to be 38.2%. Put the references of these studies.
Line 119: aim of the study is not part of method section….I suggest deleting it
Line 125: the study area description lacks total number of source population. Put it.
Line 146: Using the study in Arba Minch having the most common complication as wound
infection (P) - 12 %.why you use  p for only one variable( wound infection)?, since your study
is overall all prevalence of complications.
Line 159: this research is not sound replace it with this study
Line 161: Study population was replace it with Study population were
Line 187: Data was data is plural use were
Line 219: 51.3% cannot be majority. To say this it should be > 75%. Correct it accordingly.
Table 3: Severity of anemia should be operationalized
Figure 2: the abbreviations are not standard, write the long form as a footnote
Discussion part line 274:The overall intraoperative complication was 10.7% which was lower
than the previous studies. What is your reference and also justification
Line 280: The reason could be the difference in sterility technique and choice of prophylaxis
antibiotics among the hospitals.  This justification is vague. Make it elaborate what is your
evidence in sterility break? Also in which hospital? what about the prophylaxis?
Reference is manually inserted. This is not recommended make it automatic
Generally, your title is very essential, but many more negligence acts are shown in your
document. even there were no line number, page number, manual reference insertion and poor
writing up style. It needs intensive revision.

Title: The role of men's forgiveness in marital satisfaction and coping strategies of infertile
Iranian women
Version: 1 Date: 29 Nov 2022
Reviewer's report:
Abstract:
# The conclusion needs correction
# keywords are evaluated with mesh: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/
Introduction: it is appropriate
Methods:
# In the method, the number of samples should be evaluated by mentioning the reference
# The test used should be written below the table.
# In the article, the researcher only used the Pearson correlation test, while in the method he
wrote that he used tests including: independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis, and
Pearson correlation tests. It is not enough to present the results only with Pearson correlation
test, which is not a strong test, and it is necessary to state the results of the tests mentioned in
the results.
References: References under 2015 should be removed and newer references should be replaced.
Major Revision
The article can be published after corrections

Title: The role of men's forgiveness in marital satisfaction and coping strategies of infertile
Iranian women
Version: 1 Date: 29 Nov 2022
Reviewer's report:
I read with great interest the Manuscript titled “The role of men's forgiveness in marital
satisfaction and coping strategies of infertile Iranian women” (ID: e56d5d74-708e-4f42-
b0b4-2475a450b472), which falls within the aim of this Journal.
In my honest opinion, the topic is interesting enough to attract the readers’
attention. Methodology is accurate and conclusions are supported by the data analysis.
In this manuscript it is clear the purpose of the study and its strengths, inclusion criteria, ethical
approval and consent to participate.
-I recommend to highlight, at least briefly, the impact of infertility of psychological wellbeing
of the couples (authors may refer to: PMID:27750491; PMID: 29336414).
Title: Association of quality of prenatal care with contraceptive planning in a United States
population: a retrospective cohort study
Version: 3 Date: 03 Feb 2023
Reviewer:  Filippo Alberto Ferrari
Reviewer's report:
Dear Respectable Editor, I am grateful to give me the opportunity to review the manuscript
entitled “Association of quality of prenatal care with contraceptive planning in a United States
population: a retrospective cohort study” by Chapman et al. I appreciate the topic and the
effort of the authors to clarify the association. Nonetheless, some reflections are needed before
publications.
- The abstract is well written and provided all the information
- I suggest to shorten the introduction and in particular to move the part from line 97 to 101 in
the method section.
- Please specify what you mean with satellite clinics
- Why did you decide to merge intermediate and inadequate group? In consideration of the fact
that the intermediate arm starts in the second trimester and can receive up to eight visit the impact
of the pre-natal counseling could be relevant and introduce confusion in the interpretation of
the results.
- In consideration of the aforementioned point I advice to provide three distinct group (adequate,
intermediate and inadequate) reporting the number of women in each group and the mean
number of visits. In consideration of that clarify the choice to merge two of the group and
subsequently perform the statistical analysis.
- The educational level of a patient deeply impacts the understanding of the medical information.
I suggest to report this fundamental information.
Title: Association of quality of prenatal care with contraceptive planning in a United States
population: a retrospective cohort study
Version: 3 Date: 22 Feb 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:
- I recommend to highlight, at least briefly, how adverse maternal-fetal conditions found during
prenatal care , may influence the decision to avoid another pregnancy and adopt contraceptive
methods (authors may refer to: PMID: 27262732; PMID: 31175400)
- I may suggest to discuss how delivery events, especially in case of severe laceration, may
influence the choice to adopt post-natal contraception (regardless of the type of contraceptive
and route of administration): PMID: 31823037; PMID: 25909491.
Title: Relationship between mental health and climacteric adjustment in middle aged women:
a confirmatory analysis
Version: 2 Date: 18 Feb 2023
Reviewer:  Sri Susanty
Reviewer's report:
Comments to the Author
The purpose of this manuscript is meaningful for healthy women. However, I would like to point
out some issues as below:
I suggest to authors that they include pages and lines in their manuscripts to make it easier for
reviewers to guide you through reviewing your manuscript!
Introduction:
1. I suggest the authors write a definition of "climacteric adjustment" in this part!
2. In the first paragraph: “Gender roles influence menopausal stress responses, and fertility
changes affecting these roles may convert menopause into a critical period. Therefore, adaptation
to changes in fertility in middle-aged women may help alleviate this crisis.” Could you explain
menopausal stress responses? I suggest the authors write it clearly and please provide references
in these sentences.
3. I suggest the author write down what percentage of menopausal women experience mental
health problems!
Methods:
1. Which of the statements of the authors is correct? In the abstract, the author says that this
research was conducted on 190 women aged 45 to 55 years, however, in the first paragraph
of the material and methodology section, the author writes middle-aged women aged 35 to 50
years? Please write it clearly!
2. How, if a woman had early menopause (before the age of 40), did the authors not include
this as an inclusion criterion?
3. “The sample size was estimated as 190 participants with a test power of 85% and a reliability
of 95%” Has the author conducted a preliminary test before?
4. How many proportions of participants were chosen from each health centre by the authors?
I suggest the authors write it clearly!
5. I suggest the author write down the Cronbach alpha value from the General Health
Questionnaire-28 (GHQ-28) and the CA questionnaire and how it is assessed.
Results (Data characteristics):
1. “Of the 198 middle-aged women invited, 190 women aged between 40 and 53 accepted
participating in the study” Please clarify this, the author mentions different ages in the abstract!

Reviewer:  Kamuran Özdi#l
Reviewer's report:
Dear author(s),
The authors addressed an important issue in terms of women's health. I have stated my
suggestions for the article below. I believe that it can be published in case of major revision. I
wish the authors good luck in the publication process. Yours sincerely.
Suggestions:
• Research questions can be written after the research purpose.
• Method section can be configured with subtitles to increase the reader's understanding
• What are the important diseases in the inclusion criteria? For example; psychosis, like
schizophrenia, should be given clearly in parentheses.
• The total number of applications must be submitted between June 2021 and November 2021.
• Consent was obtained from the participants. This should be granted in the Ethics approval
section.
• I think that the findings related to concepts such as perfection and reduction in beauty should
be discussed with a cultural dimension. The known ones were investigated in a different sample.
It would be much more striking if the authors could handle the discussion section with its social
and cultural dimension.
• Similarly, the findings of the article are summarized in the conclusion section. From these
results, what are your suggestions to health professionals and researchers for women's health in
general and women's mental health in particular.
Title: Clinical and metabolic characteristics of endometrial lesions in polycystic ovary syndrome
at reproductive age
Version: 2 Date: 30 Dec 2022
Reviewer's report:
This work presents an interesting approach on the clinical and metabolic characteristics of
endometrial lesions in PCOS whose control group belongs to PCOS with normal endometrium.
The study is very interesting, with good conclusions but we have some doubts:
1. In methods... It was not reported where the cases were taken from. What was the universe of
PCOS patients from which these cases were extracted for the study?
2.  I suppose that patients were submitted to hysteroscopy with indication. It was concluded that
they had menstrual excess with increased bleeding or ultrasound abnormalities. I found no data
regarding these issues.
3.  Otherwise, the menstrual data reported in the work is average menstrual cycle length. I think
data of abnormal uterine bleeding are forgotten. It has been observed that in cases of cancer,
hemoglobin is significantly lower.
4.  In the case of abnormal uterine bleeding, there would be a need to know about the uterine
volume and endometrial changes found on ultrasound. This was not shown in the present work.
5.  There is a lot of clinical and demographic information that I believe is unnecessary, such
as ovarian volume.
6.  For publication it would be interesting to greatly reduce the data in tables 1 and 2. There are
redundant data, for example, weight and height, as the BMI would be enough. I would suggest,
if possible, to summarize the work  by removing data of lesser importance for the study.
Title: Clinical and metabolic characteristics of endometrial lesions in polycystic ovary syndrome
at reproductive age
Version: 2 Date: 15 Jan 2023
Reviewer:  Filippo Alberto Ferrari
Reviewer's report:
Dear respectable Editor,
I am grateful to have the opportunity to review the manuscript entitled “Clinical and metabolic
characteristics of endometrial lesions in polycystic ovary syndrome at reproductive age” by
Zhong et al.  The authors performed a retrospective case-control study in order to evaluate the
different metabolic features in patient with PCOS with different endometrial lesion enrolling a
total number of 234 women. I appreciated the aim of the author to clarify the possible oncological
impact of this widespread metabolic disease and the rigorous analysis of the reported data.
Nonetheless, some reflections are needed:
- The structured abstract is adequate and reports all the important information.
- At line 49 the authors stated that that relation between PCOS and endometrial lesions
is “not fully understood”. I suggest to add adequate references or reformulate the phrase
briefly reporting  what is known about (see DOI: 10.1055/s-0037-1603096; DOI: 10.1016/
j.tem.2018.09.001)
-  I suggest to re-organize the Method section reporting first of all the retrospective case control
study design. Moreover, in my opinion is more accurate to move the number of patients included
in each arm in the results section.
- I suggest to consider the most recent 2012 NIH Consensus, using 2003 Rotterdam criteria
but with the specification of the different phenotypes as suggest by ACOG guidelines (see
DOI:10.1097/AOG.0000000000002656)
- The authors reported a division in three groups depending on the BMI using a not well specified
Chinese standards. I advise to clarify this passage or considered the most used 25, 30 cutoff.
Laboratory tests and statistical analysis are well described.
- I prompt to report the histology in the endometrial cancer arm.
- There was highly suggestive evidence that diabetes mellitus increases the risk of endometrial
cancer even if association with mortality was not totally clear. Hyperinsulinaemia is common
finding prior the diabetes onset . It demonstrated in literature to have an association with
endometrial cancer either through direct mitogenic effects or possibly by increasing the levels
of bioavailable oestrogen through a reduction in SHBG levels. Please implement the discussion
about that point in consideration of your findings, before or after the passage on IR.
-To complete and improve the discussion I suggest to consider this relevant paper

Title: Clinical and metabolic characteristics of endometrial lesions in polycystic ovary syndrome
at reproductive age
Version: 3 Date: 15 Feb 2023
Reviewer's report:
My doubts were clarified but the only advisable revision is the reduction in the size of the tables
with the exclusion of irrelevant data. It is recommended to improve the presentation of the tables.
1. For example, in table 1  the number of pregnancies, parity and abortion can be part of the text.
2. Table 2 could contain hormonal and metabolic parameters, but I do not see the need to include
1-hour glucose and insulin data.
3. A third table could be made with most important blood count  and coagulation data.
4. The discussion is too long. I suggest to make a better summary of the discussion.
Title: Clinical and metabolic characteristics of endometrial lesions in polycystic ovary syndrome
at reproductive age
Version: 4 Date: 12 Mar 2023
Reviewer's report:
I agree with the corrections that were well made.
The only correction I can see is to pay attention to the bibliographic references. I did not find
reference 28 (Shafiee et al, 2014) and Hu et al is reference number 29.
Title: The risk of sexual dysfunction associated with alcohol consumption in women: a
systematic review and meta-analysis
Version: 0 Date: 10 Mar 2023
Reviewer:  Hammad Ali Fadlalmola
Reviewer's report:
Reviewing comments
Title: The title accurately reflects the content of the manuscript and includes the main variables
(alcohol consumption and sexual dysfunction) and the population of interest (women). However,
it could be improved by being more specific about the type of study (systematic review and
meta-analysis) and the key finding (the increased risk of sexual dysfunction associated with
alcohol consumption).
Abstract: The abstract is well-written and provides a clear and concise summary of the study's
purpose, methods, results, and conclusions. It accurately summarizes the key findings and
implications of the study. However, it could be improved by including more specific information
about the number of studies and participants included in the meta-analysis, the effect size, and
the limitations of the study.
Introduction:
The introduction provides a clear and concise background on the topic of alcohol consumption
and sexual dysfunction in women, but it could benefit from a more detailed discussion of
the prevalence and impact of sexual dysfunction in women and the potential role of alcohol
consumption in its development.
Methods:
The methods section is well-structured and provides a comprehensive description of the study
design and statistical analysis. However, it could benefit from a more detailed explanation of
the inclusion and exclusion criteria for the studies included in the meta-analysis.
Results:
The results section is well written and clearly presents the findings of the meta-analysis.
However, it would be helpful to include a summary table that provides a clear overview of the
study's characteristics and results.
Discussion:
The discussion provides a good summary of the study's findings and their implications.
However, it could benefit from a more detailed discussion of the potential mechanisms
underlying the association between alcohol consumption and sexual dysfunction in women.
Limitations:
The limitations section provides a thorough discussion of the study's limitations. However, it
could benefit from a more detailed discussion of the potential sources of heterogeneity between
the studies included in the meta-analysis.
Conclusion:
The conclusion provides a clear summary of the study findings and their implications. However,
it could benefit from a more detailed discussion of the potential implications for clinical practice
and future research.
Title: The risk of sexual dysfunction associated with alcohol consumption in women: a
systematic review and meta-analysis
Version: 0 Date: 21 Mar 2023
Reviewer's report:
Dear author,
This is a relatively well written manuscript on the effect of Alcohol consumption on female
sexual dysfunction.
You need to revise  some sections and enhance the English writing.
In abstract; the first sentence of background must be changed to "Due to the different effects of
alcohol consumption on the sexual function, this study aimed to..."
In abstract; mention the numbers of selected studies in  Method section.
In discussion; page 6, What were the differences of studies in Brazil, Denmark and Puerto Rico
with your work? Please explain more.
Title: Persistent HPV infection after conization of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia—— a
systematic review and meta-analysis
Version: 4 Date: 02 Feb 2023
Reviewer:  Giorgio Bogani
Reviewer's report:
I read with great interest the Manuscript titled "Persistent HPV infection after conization of
cervical intraepithelial neoplasia—— a systematic review and meta-analysis" which falls within
the aim of the Journal.
In my honest opinion, the topic is interesting enough to attract the readers’ attention.
-The whole text should be corrected by a native English speaker in order to make the work
clearer and more readable.
-The introduction should be extended and completed. I find interesting a reference to the methods
of treatment for patients with early stage cervical cancer. (see PMID: 36141917).
-Inclusion/exclusion criteria should be better clarified by extending their description.
-Discussions can be expanded and improved by citing relevant articles (I suggest authors to read
and insert in references the following article PMID: 33140628).
Considered all these 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.
