Reviewer's report:  
 
I think this is a relevant and interesting paper.  
 
I have only minor comments:  
 
What was the rationale for selecting "65%" as the percentage for being the QI accepted?  
 
Why did you excluded non -European respondents?

this limitation and being more cautious in your conclusions
