Title: Experience of Obstetricians and Gynecologists in the Management of Medicolegal Cases
in Egypt
Version: 3 Date: 12 Oct 2022
Reviewer's report:
1. I was really confused with how the awareness was assessed? The authors mentioned that "
Awareness of participants regarding the four elements of malpractice was quantified", however
either tables or methods did not clarify what are these 4 elements from the whole variables
mentioned. The same comment for "Awareness of participants regarding the medicolegal
precautions of induction of therapeutic abortion was quantified" which they claimed they were
five.
2. If 4 items scored 1 for each if being correctly selected, how can the range be from 1 to 4? it
is 0 to 4. The same comment for scoring "Awareness of participants regarding the medicolegal
precautions of induction of therapeutic abortion was quantified".
3. The author mentioned that the social networks used for data collection are accessed by
thousands of OB/GYN practitioners in Egypt, however the study included only 150 participants.
Sample size must be calculated by software or specific equation, not like that. Also, the sampling
design was not mentioned as I think it was convenient sampling technique.
4. There were no titles for the figures. Also, figures are comparing one variable to another, it
should be supported by a significance test.
5. The results need to be more arranged and organized. For example,  in methods the authors
mentioned "The questions of the second section (7 questions) gathered information regarding
medical malpractice allegations and the protective measures taken by healthcare institutes to
guard against such claims" , in the results it was mentioned as "malpractice claims against OB/
GYN practitioners", and then in figures it was mentioned "OB/GYN practitioners accused", as
I think it were 3 different descriptions for the same concept.
6. Reliability of the questionnaire by Corenbach's alpha is required.
7. Content validity is which was conducted by the seniors (of what specialty?), but what about
the face validity and confirmatory factor analysis?
8.  The significance level is 95% not (less than 0.05).
9. Th following  paragraph "A questionnaire was adopted in compliance with scientific literature
in this context and the cultural background of Egyptian society [1-5,12-16]. The responses were
received from 150 OB/GYN practitioners in 19 governorates (out of 27 Egyptian governorates).
A wide distribution of the questionnaire and receiving responses from 70% of governorates
could compensate for the relatively limited participants’ number. Similarly, Zaki and Sobh 2021
conducted their survey on 29 forensic practitioners from 13 Arab countries (out of 22 countries)
[18].  Generally, limited participation could be attributed to the tendency for non-disclosure of
work-related data or lack of interest in the research topic which is in agreement with Mansour
et al. 2020 [19].", to be added in the methods not the discussion.
10. The sections of recommendations and limitations to be added separately.
Title: Experience of Obstetricians and Gynecologists in the Management of Medicolegal Cases
in Egypt
Version: 3 Date: 12 Oct 2022
Reviewer:  Ibrahim A. Abdelazim
Reviewer's report:
Dear Respectable Editor
Thank you to give me the opportunity to review the article entitled (Experience of Obstetricians
and Gynecologists in the Management of Medicolegal Cases in Egypt).
The study had an in-depth look at handling of obstetricians and gynecologists in medicolegal
situations in Egypt. Also, influence of religious and cultural norms on obstetrics and gynecology
(OB/GYN) practice in Egypt was investigated.
Hundred and fifty (150) practitioners from 19 governorates responded (28% of respondents
were accused of malpractice and 87.3% of participants denoted increasing rate of litigations
over last years). The commonest mentioned error is intra-operative problems (60%), whereas the
commonest harm is neonatal deaths (46.7%). The mean participants' score regarding elements of
malpractice was 1.49±0.76 (maximum possible score is 4). 18.7% of respondents managed cases
with premarital sexual relations. 76.7% and 60.7% of participants declared that assessment of
hymen integrity and termination of pregnancy are main concerns of cases, respectively. Hymen
repair is not justified by 53.3% of participants. Termination of pregnancy before 16 weeks
without medical indication is unaccepted by 96.7% of participants.
The study concluded that the OB/GYN specialists are at high risk of accusation with inadequate
measures to guard against malpractice claims in Egypt. High controversy among respondents
regarding management of cases with premarital sexual acts and termination of pregnancy was
elucidated.
The authors explained in the introduction why their study was designed and the importance
of their study (authors stated, OB/GYN is considered among the high-risk professions with
inevitable emergencies. Therefore, healthcare providers and maternity hospitals should carefully
consider medicolegal aspects of medical practice).
The authors provide the study design, study participants, survey instrument, and ethical approval
number (IRB Number: 00012098, FWA Number: 00018699, Serial Protocol Number: 0305331).
The results of the study are clear, and in the discussion section, the authors compared their
findings with other authors finding. The authors reached clear conclusion, the strength of their
study and future suggested studies.
The article discusses and interesting subject and can be accepted for publication without any
suggested changes.
Regards

Reviewer's report:
Your work was a great opportunity for me as it is an interesting critical topic to study. Your work
now has harmony and willing to give the literature an advance. Please consider the following
final revision tips:
Remove the following citation: (Similarly, Zaki and Sobh 2021 surveyed 29 forensic
practitioners from 13 Arab countries (out of 22 countries) [20].), as the target population is
extremely different.
Please remove tables (3) and (5), as they are not meaningful. You need to just enumerate the
elements when the physician is accused and the appropriate medicolegal precautions. Clarify
that these are the items you asked the participants about.
For table (2), please remove the number of the question, (In table (2), question (13) asked
the participants to identify elements needed to approve malpractice claims against physicians.)
and in (In table (4), question (18) asked the participants to identify appropriate medicolegal
precautions taken by the doctor performing a therapeutic abortion.).
Please separate the recommendation from limitation sections. MAKE THEM TWO
SEPARATE SECTIONS
Add the following statement: (Also, it is recommended to carry out similar studies in different
countries so that the comparability of the results with that of other nations could be possible.)

Title: Prevalence and patterns of premenstrual disorders and possible association with sexual
harassment: A cross-sectional study of young Arab women
Version: 2 Date: 06 Jul 2022
Reviewer's report:
The manuscript is well structured and written.
I have some suggestions.
1. Please report your data on the abstract (significance)
2.  Please rewrite this part without the name of the governorate In Egypt and universities, “the
limited data on PMS prevalence are collected from small groups of students or nurses, which
can't be generalized to the population. For example, the prevalence is estimated to be 51.5 %
among secondary school girls [10]. Prevalence is also reported in individual governorates such
as Zagazig (56.1%) [11] and Beni-Sueif (86.3%) [12]. numbers are not widely different in Jordan
as it is reported to be  80.2%  among college students at Al-Zarka University [13]  and 92.3 %
among college girls as a whole [14].
3. Please report definition of the premenstrual dysphoric disorder and sexual harassment in the
introduction part.
4. Your Data collected in the Middle East community and harassment is a shame issue.  I invite
the author to explain how to detect and assess This and if not please report it in the limitation part.
5. You reported (The data collection was done from 1st November till 14th) November 2020.
This time is concise for a response for your instruments, please report your explanation in the
limitation part, especially since your participants are very large.
6. Please report the hypothesis of the study in a separate section.
7. I suggest reporting   the exclusion criterion in the method section
8. Please arrange and rewrite the method section, especially data collection and I invite the author
to report the Validity and readability of your instrument could you see the fellow paper ;

Title: Prevalence and patterns of premenstrual disorders and possible association with sexual
harassment: A cross-sectional study of young Arab women
Version: 2 Date: 02 Oct 2022
Reviewer's report:
Dear Editor and authors,
Firstly, I thank you for my consideration as a reviewer of this manuscript. It is my pleasure to
contribute to BMC Women's Health.
This study contributes to the research of premenstrual syndrome and premenstrual dysphoric
disorder.
I recommend considering some suggestions for its publication:
In the abstract section, I suggest including statistical values in the results.
In the introduction section, I suggest writing more specific the aim of the study, for example,
the sociodemographic variables.
In the method section, the inclusion/exclusion criteria would be indicated. Also, I recommend
including evidence of the reliability of the instruments for the original version and this sample.
In the results section, I recommend presenting Table 1 for each country. Could the authors
consider conducting the analyses comparing the three nationalities?
Was there comorbidity in the sample for premenstrual syndrome and premenstrual dysphoric
disorder?
In the discussion section, I recommend discussing the prevalence of this disorder in general and
the results of this study. Moreover, the authors could discuss the lack of association with other
sociodemographic variables.
I would like to recommend the authors include the limitations section before the conclusion and
write the difficulties of the generalization of these results.
Finally, in the conclusion section, I suggest indicating the applicability of its results for the
clinical area and future research.

Reviewer's report:
Dear Editor and authors,
The manuscript has been improved.
I recommend reviewing the statistic symbols. In the introduction section, I suggest indicating
the demographic factors in the aim of the study.  Moreover, for the methodology section,  I
suggest indicating the specific statistic analyzed for internal consistency (e.g., Cronbach alpha
or ordinal alpha).
Thank you for your response to my comments.
Title: Does asset ownership influence sexual risk-taking behaviors among women engaged in
sex work in Southern Uganda? A mediation analysis.
Version: 2 Date: 11 Oct 2022
Reviewer's report:
I thank the authors for the work they did in the manuscript. I however some few comments
which the authors can address.
Page 3 line 70, the authors can replace “chances” with “risk.
Page 3 line 71-73, the word “Therefore” can be deleted. In addition, the authors state the Ford
Foundations suggestion on assets but do not cite appropriately. They can cite appropriately.
Throughout the manuscript, I note that the authors use “condomless sex” and sometimes
“unprotected sex”. For consistency, the authors can choose one. I am of the view that the authors
use unprotected sex which most people understand as “not using a condom when having sexual
intercourse”
While in the introduction section (line 96-98) the authors state that “The study uniquely
examines how asset ownership reduces the likelihood of engaging in other sexual risk-taking
behaviors, including unprotected sex, number of sexual partners, and use of alcohol and drugs
among WESW”, it seems that they did not include use of alcohol and drugs in constructing
sexual risk-taking behaviors. Line 155-159 shows that use of alcohol and drugs were not part
of the items that were used to generate the latent variable for sexual risk-taking behaviors. The
authors can thus emphasize only the variables that they used to construct the latent variable
“sexual risk-taking behaviours”.
In the methods section, a great deal of effort has been on describing and explaining the SEM
technique and all the appropriate tests for SEM were conducted. However, the authors state
that they used PCA to generate latent factor variables but it is not clear whether they did the
necessary tests to see if the PCA can be conducted. Readers and especially those who may want
to take great inspiration from the author’ work and their methodology may not clear tell how the
PCA is used. Was normalization done? One is also not sure whether the PCA was appropriate
because the authors do not indicate whether the Bartlett’s and KMO tests were performed.
The control variables (age and education) may be significantly associated with asset ownership.
The authors assessed the influence of these on the moderator variables. Figure 1 indicates that
age and education were included as factors that influenced depression, access to health services
and the outcome variable (sexual risking behaviors). I do not know why the authors did not
explore the possible association that these control variables have with asset ownership.
The paper can be accepted when the few issues raised are addressed.
Title: Evaluation of Quality Of Life in Endometriosis Patients Before and After Surgical
Treatment Using the EHP30 Questionnaire
Version: 0 Date: 19 May 2022
Reviewer's report:
Thank you very much for the invitation to review of the manuscript. It a great pleasure for me.
The purpose of study of Tiringer et al. was to estimate the effect of surgery on the postoperative
health-related quality of life in the different endometriosis groups.
1. In the introduction: could you add more information about the questionnaire?
2. What was the time between the surgery and the completing the survey?
3. Did any of the women relapse?
4. In addition to removing the lesions, were additionally removed, for example, the ovary, part
of the intestine? This could significantly affect every aspect of women's health.
5. What were the results of these tests depending on the stage of the disease?
6. The discussion could be more extensive, the authors could add the results of research based
on other questionnaires
Title: Evaluation of Quality Of Life in Endometriosis Patients Before and After Surgical
Treatment Using the EHP30 Questionnaire
Version: 0 Date: 22 May 2022
Reviewer's report:
Current study evaluated an effect of laparoscopic surgery in patients with endometriosis using
EHP-30 questionnaire.
A few comments are as follows:
1. Patient selection- generally, the diagnosis of endometriosis is made surgically, either
visualizing endometriotic lesion or histopathological diagnosis. Any reason that the researchers
limited the definition to histopathological endometriosis?
2. Patient selection-In this study, participants who had taken hormonal treatment before the
surgery within 3 months were about 24%. This may possibly reduce detecting peritoneal
endometriosis. I recommend excluding these patients from the analyses.
3. How did the authors defined peritoneal endometriosis and DIE? As you know, DIE includes
various spectrum of its extent. Please provide each definition of the condition.
4. How many surgeons performed the surgery in the study? Did they perform the procedures as
same as possible? Moreover, did they excise all the endometriotic lesions, radically?
5. Did the participants not take any of hormonal medication after surgery? If so, this should be
mentioned in the manuscript.
6.  Peritoneal endometriosis is referred as the most painful subtype in the literature. It is
supported by evidence which are showing active inflammation in peritoneal lesions. The result
in the study shows opposite results. What will be the possible explanation?
Title: Evaluation of Quality Of Life in Endometriosis Patients Before and After Surgical
Treatment Using the EHP30 Questionnaire
Version: 2 Date: 18 Sep 2022
Reviewer's report:
Some of the questions were answered adequately. However, the rationale for the conclusion
seems still weak. A depth discussion of the results is required. I suggest rewriting the discussion
part thoroughly.
Common findings and different ones compared to previous studies should be addressed. Properly
discussed possible explanations are expected.
Title: Evaluation of Quality Of Life in Endometriosis Patients Before and After Surgical
Treatment Using the EHP30 Questionnaire
Version: 3 Date: 19 Oct 2022
Reviewer's report:
The paper is improved compared to the previous version.
The authors insisted to include the participants who had taken hormonal medication within 3
months of enrollment. They explained this decision to reveal the real-life data. In my opinion,
this worsens the heterogenicity and make confusion to the interpretation. If they want to keep
this bias, at least they should add a figure comparing HRQoL, pain changes of 'previous no meds
group' and 'previous hormone med group' so that the readers may decide considering the bias
when they read this paper.
Title: Predictors of practice of proper partograph uptake among skilled health providers in
Hawassa city health facilities, South Ethiopia, in 2021
Version: 2 Date: 07 May 2022
Reviewer's report:
Thank you so much for sharing your work. This hospital-based retrospective cohort study
investigated “Predictors of practice of proper partograph uptake among skilled health providers
in Hawassa city health facilities, South Ethiopia, in 2021”.
Comments
• The do have concern on the title. The authors used “predictors………”. This term could not
be used for cross sectional study. So, the title should be revised
• What does “Binary and multiple logistic regressions” mean? it should be corrected as
Bivariable and multivariable binary logistic regression ………
• How can a P-value less than 0.25 and 0.05 were taken as statistically significant
value?????????????.
• Line 103, This descriptive study was design…………….? what do you want to say? Your title
emphasize on identifying the factors associated with the utilization , but here you mentioned
descriptive study…………two contradictory statement.
• Again on line 131: This descriptive survey study was done using mixed data collection
technique. This is of wrong
• The authors stated that the reliability and validity of the questionnaire and checklist were
ensured through adequate literature review. How did you exactly assessed the reliability issues?
• Result section: Both the socio-demographic characteristics of skilled delivery attendants, and
Practice of parthograph utilization should be paraphrased. Try to minimize the text description
as you have presented in the table. Presenting the same data using both table and text is not
recommended. So, narrate only the most important variables and the rest will be seen from the
table.
• Discussion section from line 245 to 249, irrelevant sentences has been added. So, remove it.
• 95% CI had not been calculated for the magnitude? So, without calculating the CI, how one
can able to make a discussion.
After all the paper is poorly prepared, organized and lacks scientific flaws. Statistical models are
not done rigorously. However, if the authors have addressed all the issues raised, the manuscript
might be published.
