Title: Analyses of human papillomavirus, Chlamydia trachomatis, Ureaplasma urealyticum,
Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and co-infections in a gynecology outpatient clinic in Haikou area, China
Version: 2 Date: 16 Dec 2022
Reviewer:  Binhua Dong
Reviewer's report:
The present study entitled “Analysis of sexually transmitted infections in a gynecological
outpatient clinic of a hospital in Haikou area, China” aimed to assess the epidemiology of HPV
combined with UU, CT and NG. Overall, the manuscript fits the scope of our journal and presents
interesting data. Unfortunately, the authors did not present the data in detail nor adequately write
the story. There are major and minor comments are listed below:
1. The research lacks innovation points and clinical significance. There have been several similar
studies. For example, Lv Panpan, Zhao Fang, Xu Xiaoqin, et al. Correlation between Common
Lower Genital Tract Microbes and High-Risk Human Papillomavirus Infection.[J]. Can J Infect
Dis Med Microbiol, 2019, 2019: 9678104.
2. The title does not correspond to the content of the study. There are many types of STIs, and
UU, CT are only some of them. Therefore, the title of the article should be more clear.
3. The positive rate of UU was 58.43%, which was obviously higher than other studies. It needs
to be analyzed and discussed.
4. Page 5, method part, only inclusion criteria are shown. Are there exclusion criteria?
5. Only two tables are showing the age distribution in the result part. I think the data can be
analyzed in depth.
Title: Analyses of human papillomavirus, Chlamydia trachomatis, Ureaplasma urealyticum,
Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and co-infections in a gynecology outpatient clinic in Haikou area, China
Version: 2 Date: 23 Dec 2022
Reviewer's report:
This study provides an epidemiological data on the prevalence of cervical infections associated
with HPV and seven other common sexually transmitted pathogens in Haikou, China. However,
there are quite a few problems to be solved.
1# Background#“Condyloma acuminata and cervical lesions are caused by chronic high-risk
HPV infection, which also plays a significant role in the development of cervical cancer [2].” It
is incorrect. Condyloma acuminatum is caused by low-risk HPV infection and has nothing to do
with the development of cervical cancer. The logic of the first paragraph needs to be reorganized.
2# “This suggests that other risk factors, such as chronic infection with certain HPV genotypes or
the presence of contemporaneous pathogens capable of infecting the genital tract, are necessary
for carcinogenesis” Really? I read the reference[4] but cannot find any evidence. No significant
association was demonstrated between multiple infections and the colposcopy findings.
3# The Inclusion standards need to be further clarified.
4# The language needs to be modified by native speakers. Many sentences are very confusing.
e.g. “The highest detection rate for UU was 56.84%”. “all 21 HPV subtypes detected in the kit
were detected.”
5# “The detection rates of HPV, CT, UU and NG in the 21-25 years old group were second only
to the 15-25 years old group” 15-25?
6# The prevalence of HPV was 17.66% (in the abstract) or 17.29% (in the manuscript)?  Pls
check it.
7# A % was missed in the last line of Table1.
8# The discussion part needs to be subtracted.

Reviewer:  Tullio Golia D'auge
Reviewer's report:
I read with great interest the Manuscript titled "Analysis of sexually transmitted infections in a
gynecological outpatient clinic of a hospital in Haikou area, China" which falls within the aim
of the Journal.
In my honest opinion, the topic is interesting enough to attract the readers’ attention.
Nevertheless, authors should clarify some point and improve the discussion citing relevant and
novel key articles about the topic.
-The whole text should be corrected by a native English speaker in order to make the work
clearer and more readable.
-The abstract should be revised (in particular the section on materials and methods) in order to
better summarize the contents of the manuscript.
-The introduction should be extended and completed. I find interesting a reference to the efforts
made for the prevention and early diagnosis of gynecological cancers (see PMID: 36141217).
-Although it is a retrospective analysis, inclusion/exclusion criteria should be better clarified by
extending their description.
-http://www.kyangou.com/p-V512818.html should be moved to references.
-The results should be re-checked and the p values should be described in the main text for each
variable considered.
-Discussions and conclusions should be reconsidered on the basis of the results obtained.
- I suggest also authors  to better organize the discussion section following this ideal structure:
main findings of the study, strength and limitations of the study, implications and comparison
with literature, future directions.
-Discussions can be expanded and improved by citing relevant articles (I suggest authors to read
and insert in references the following article PMID: 35742340; 35455328).
Considered all this points, I think it could be of interest for the readers and, in my opinion, it
deserves the priority to be published after major revisions.

Reviewer’s comment after first revision
#After the addition of the web link on reference list number 11, your “reference No. 12” has
no citation. Please, correct it.
#It is more important to increase reproductive health knowledge from family, school, and
networks to give early reproductive health education to young women and encourage them
to adopt prudent reproductive health protective measures. Indeed, this is crucial to lowering
reproductive tract infections and enhancing the reproductive health of women who are ready
to have children.

Comments:
The authors have produced a solid and well-written manuscript. Overall it is well done. It was
an interesting topic. My comments are very minor.
Comment 1:
I agree with the authors, there is a serious methodological limitation as to the manner in which
the data was extracted. One author had to undertake the title and abstract screen of 3909 articles,
of which only 10% were checked.
On page 6, line 124 “. The full texts of potentially eligible manuscripts were assessed by one
reviewer (RG) and verified by another (DB, KT, CD, NL).” Was this a 100% check? Page 7,
line 154 seems to indicate that it was “One reviewer (RG, DB, KT, CD, or NL) extracted the
data into the forms and another one verified it (RG, DB, KT, CD, or NL).”
If it true that 100% of the full data extraction was verified, then I suggest explicitly stating so.
Comment 2:
I believe that the authors should include a further disclosure of the ‘published tools’ that they
used for the risk of bias analysis. Can you provide any further evidence that the tools produced
by DistillerSR have been validated? Or were the tools used produced by someone else (e.g. JBI
risk of bias) and DistillerSR facilitated the screening?  From your supplementary material, it
does appear that the majority of the questions were derived from a validated risk of bias tool.
Title: The Efficacy and Safety of Temperature Controlled Dual-Mode Radiofrequency in
Women with Vaginal Laxity
Version: 1 Date: 24 Feb 2023
Reviewer:  Violante di Donato
Reviewer's report:
I read with great interest the Manuscript titled "The Efficacy and Safety of Temperature
Controlled Dual-Mode Radiofrequency in Women with Vaginal Laxity" which falls within the
aim of the Journal.
Methodology is accurate and conclusions are supported by the data analysis. Nevertheless,
authors should clarify some point and improve the discussion citing relevant and novel key
articles about the topic.
- I suggest another round of language revision, in order to correct few typos and improve
readability.
-The introduction should be extended and completed. I find interesting a reference to the efficacy
of non pharmacological oral therapy for the treatment of women in reproductive age (see:
29389678).
- The authors have not adequately highlighted the strengths and limitations of their study. I
suggest better specifying these points.
- Discussions can be expanded and improved by citing relevant articles (I suggest authors to read
and insert in references the following article PMID: Violante Di Donato,  Ottavia D'Oria,  Andrea
Giannini,  Maria Scudo,  Carmel Sher,  Margherita Fischetti,  Giorgia Perniola,  Innocenza
Palaia,  Marco Monti,  Ludovico Muzii,  Pierluigi Benedetti Panici. The Efficacy of Fractional

Observational Study. Clin. Exp. Obstet. Gynecol. 2022, 49(9), 212. https://doi.org/10.31083/
j.ceog4909212.
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.

Reviewer's report:
In my opinion, this topic analyzed is interesting enough to attract readers’ attention. The goal of
this study to explore the efficacy and safety of temperature controlled dual-mode radiofrequency
in women with vaginal laxity.
I think that the abstract of this article clear and interesting.
Maybe, could be useful the evaluation of another treatment like laser CO2 treatment to
strengthen the thesis of this article. In particular, I suggest these articles to get deeper in the
topic: PMID 32252962 and PMID 36037664.
In my opinion, the discussion could be studied in deep and extended.
Tables and figures are clear and interesting.
However, considered all this 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.

Title: Exposure to interparental violence and justification of intimate partner violence among
women in Papua New Guinea
Version: 1 Date: 23 Aug 2022
Reviewer:  Carolina V. N. Coll
Reviewer's report:
The paper is well written and addresses a relevant topic in the context of a country presenting
one of highest levels of IPV in the world. However, there are some important methodological
issues to be addressed so that the study can contribute valuable evidence to the area.
On the methods, the authors mention 12 covariates included in their model. However, it is
not clear how these variables were chosen. I was left with many doubts regarding this. For
example, if parity, marital status, and age are not associated with the outcome (Table 1) how it
could be considered a confounder of the main association being investigated? The same would
apply to community-level covariates as most are not associated with intimate partner violence
justification. Why were they chosen? The study would benefit from a conceptual model to justify
and guide covariates choice. On the community-level variables I suggest the authors include
intimate partner violence prevalence.
On the results, besides reporting on the main association of interest, the authors are reporting
on associations between all covariates and intimate partner violence justification. I don´t think
this is a problem but this is an additional aim of the study this needs to be clear throughout the
paper including title, introduction etc.
Title: Exposure to interparental violence and justification of intimate partner violence among
women in Papua New Guinea
Version: 1 Date: 09 Sep 2022
Reviewer's report:
This paper investigates the association between inter-parental violence and justification of
intimate partner violence (IPV) among women in Papua New Guinea. Data from the 2016-18
Demographic and Health Survey are used. Results indicate that women exposed to inter-parental
violence are more likely to justify IPV.
My comments are as follows:
1) The contribution of the paper is not clear. Is this question examined for the first time in the
context of Papua New Guinea? Do the authors use new/better data or methods? Are the variables
measured differently than in previous studies?
2) In terms of controls, why is sex composition of children not used? Also, are there partner/
husband characteristics that need to be included in the regression equation?
3) It would be interesting to estimate regressions separately by urban/rural location and check
if the examined association differs by household location. Same for gender of child.
4) Why is the response of “don’t know” to the questions about justification of wife-beating coded
as No? It should be removed or coded as missing.
5) It would be informative to analyze the justification of wife-beating questions separately or
as an index.
Title: A Health communication campaign for prevention of osteoporosis in rural elderly women
Version: 2 Date: 11 Sep 2022
Reviewer's report:
I have carefully revised the manuscript entitled “ A Health communication campaign for
prevention of osteoporosis in rural elderly women” by Solmaz Dastmanesh and colleagues.
The article is devoted to a topic of substantial importance and matches the range of issues
generally covered by the Springer BMC Women's Health.
The title of the paper corresponds to the issues it addresses. The authors offer a valid overview
of the extent of the problem, building on theoretical concepts and research. The literature is
recent and relevant. The literature review acknowledges the depth and breadth of investigation
in the field
After minor corrections, the article may be approved for publication. In order to increase the
value of its content, I suggest the following:
1. Please describe in detail the procedure for conducting the study. Authors should mention the
area where population study answered the questions. Where the research was conducted (home,
clinic, hospital area etc.)
2. Please provide more complete information on project (study) funding.
3.The authors do not mention what they did if someone could not understand the questions?
4. The study was approved by the Shiraz University of Medical Sciences ethics board committee
by No: Ethics code: IR.SUMS.REC. 1398.565 was conducted in accordance with the principles
of the Declaration of Helsinki. All the participants were informed about the quality of the
project’s implementation, confidentiality of the information, and the project’s purpose, and
written informed consent was obtained from them.
The authors declare to obtain informed consent from all study participants. Please explain the
procedure for obtaining consent from   illiterate  study participants ?
Paper requires minor revisions, but I commend this paper to the Editor-in-Chief.

Reviewer's report:
Parabenizo pelo tema e pelo trabalho interessante.
Transcrevo alguns apontamentos, que coloquei no decorrer do texto, abaixo:
-Resumo: um pouco confuso, deixar claro comparação inter grupo e intra grupo na apresentação
dos resultados;
- Introdução: referências um pouco antigas, inclusive de dados epidemiológicos; não trazem o
estado da arte no tema, como estudos de outros locais, especialmente rurais;
-Métodos: deixar os pontos claro:
Qual era o n elegível nestas aldeias? Como foram selecionadas estas duas aldeias (quantas eram
elegíveis);
Questionário de prática um pouco confuso;
Onde foram entrevistadas? Em casa, na unidade de saúde?
Como garantiu que o grupo controle não foi exposto às campanhas?
Com que frequência as mulheres foram expostas  às campanhas?
Linhas 180 e 181: São 2 questionários de prática?
Os questionários tem algum escore? Comparou cada questão individual?
-Resultados: sugiro reescrever para deixar o mais claro possível; talvez primeiro intra grupos
e depois inter grupos;
-Discussão: sugiro aprofundar com achados de outras localidades e trazer reflexões dos autores
sobre cada achado, conforme apresentação dos resultados;
-Atualizar referências > 5 anos;
