Title: Psychometric Properties of the Arabic Version of the Fertility Quality of Life (FertiQoL)
Questionnaire Tested on Infertile Couples in Jordan
Version: 1 Date: 28 Mar 2023
Reviewer's report:
This is an interesting paper investigated the underlying structure of the novel Arabic version
of the FertiQoL tool and demonstrated the reliability and validity of the Arabic version of the
FertiQoL for assessing the quality of life of infertile couples or those in Jordan with no pregnancy
or childlessness.
Methods:
Why did the authors used convenience sampling technique?
Conclusion:
The conclusion provides a clear summary of the study findings and their implications. However,
it could benefit from a more detailed explanation of the study's contributions to the field of
infertility research.
Overall, I found the paper to be well-written and presented, with clear and concise findings.
However, there are some minor areas for improvement, as outlined above.
Title: Psychometric Properties of the Arabic Version of the Fertility Quality of Life (FertiQoL)
Questionnaire Tested on Infertile Couples in Jordan
Version: 1 Date: 02 May 2023
Reviewer's report:
Dear authors
I see that you are addressing an important issue in terms of women's health. However, I think that
it can be published at the national level because it covers the region where the scale and validity
studies are conducted. I am of the opinion that the article is not suitable for this journal as it
is a limited subject for international literature. I wish the authors good luck in the publication
process.
Yours sincerely.
Title: Natural Patterns of Social Support for Physical Activity Participation in Newly Matched
Breast Cancer Survivor Dyads
Version: 1 Date: 17 Mar 2023
Reviewer's report:
This report focuses on social support for physical activity among paired breast cancer survivors.
While this is an interesting topic, the primary concern is that article is presented in an
exceptionally confusing and vague manner.  After reading and re-reading this paper, I am still
unclear how these women were matched - what particular variables were used?  Since the
matching lies at the very heart of this study, this is a key concern.
Other more specific concerns are as follows:
1) Abstract: The abstract is missing several key pieces of information, such as the sample size
and the duration of the study period.
2) Introduction: Third paragraph, 2nd and 3rd sentences - these sentences are not really relevant
to the current study as the relationship between a mentor or coach is significantly different than
that of a peer.
3) Table 1:  The authors might consider collapsing some categories for education and martial
status - were other key factors like BMI and comorbidity collected - that would seem important.
4) Table 2: indicate the time span over which days of exercise occurred.
5) Discussion: The small sample size should be acknowledged as a limitation.
Title: Awareness and Perceptions of Filipino Obstetrician-Gynecologists on Fertility
Preservation: A Cross-Sectional Survey
Version: 1 Date: 26 Jan 2023
Reviewer:  Mario Palumbo
Reviewer's report:
I was pleased to review this paper
The methodology used by the Authors is appropriate for the purpose of the article description.
The English language is fluid and well understood. Nevertheless, minor revision is needed.
For the abstract I found clear  the schematization of the content.
Regarding the introduction you can add this paper to deepen the topic.
DOI:  10.1016/j.bpobgyn.2022.05.003.
As regards the paper’s structuring (methods/discussion): There is a good structure of the project,
but you can improve the text by answering these questions.
what biases may have negatively affected the study statistics in your opinion?
How do you think socio-economic factors influenced the answering of the questions?
"There is an overall positive perception of fertility preservation, with 98.60% agreeing
that discussions about childbearing intentions should be initiated";  How much can correct
information influence the results obtained?
Results
- The statistical structure seems to me well done;
- Good subdivision into subparagraphs.
- Good to mention the limitations of the study.
Conclusion
Increase the number of references;
The data obtained are good with respect to the structuring of the work.
Title: Awareness and Perceptions of Filipino Obstetrician-Gynecologists on Fertility
Preservation: A Cross-Sectional Survey
Version: 1 Date: 30 Apr 2023
Reviewer's report:
Thank you for the opportunity to review this manuscript which examines awareness and
perception of Filipino obstetrician-gynecologists on fertility preservation.  The authors should
proof-read the abstract and manuscript and make sure that the same tense is being used
throughout.   Given the study population and findings, this study may be more suitable to be
published in a journal targeting Filippino Ob GYNs.  There is really not enough information
about the health care landscape for the readers outside of the Philippines to understand what
is novel about this study, and how its findings would be applicable to them.    It should also
be noted that although the minimum number of respondents needed was reached, this was an
overall small number, and unclear how representative of all Ob GYNs in the Philippines this
sample would be.
1.  It will be helpful for readers to better understand the health care situation in the Philippines.  Is
it government run/sponsored?  Do patients have private health insurance?   How would fertility
preservation techniques be paid for?
2. Results:  authors state ” Those in Luzon are 2.26 times more likely to be aware of
regulations on fertility preservation than those in the NCR.”—most readers would not be from
the Philippines or aware of the geography.  Can the authors provide more details?  Is Luzon a
large city/area?  Was there a larger portion of respondents from this area?  Why is this finding
important?
3. How many REIs are in the Philippines? How many centers which perform IVF are there?
Title: Intimate partner violence among young women in Ibadan, Nigeria: Are there slum and
non-slum differences?
Version: 1 Date: 17 Jan 2023
Reviewer:  Ogadimma Arisukwu
Reviewer's report:
The title is contemporary and relevant
The literature review on cultural perceptions of what women consider as violence against them
is absent.
Literature review did not show peculiarities and causes of IPV in urban slum and non slum areas.
The authors must show features of the areas of study that may predispose men to engage in IPV.
THE STUDY IS NOT ANCHORED ON ANY THEORY OR PHILOSOPHICAL LEANING.
There should be recommendations that should flow from research objectives.
The paper is recommended for publication after minor corrections.
Thanks
Title: Intimate partner violence among young women in Ibadan, Nigeria: Are there slum and
non-slum differences?
Version: 1 Date: 22 Jan 2023
Reviewer's report:
The work entitled "Intimate partner violence among young women in Ibadan, Nigeria: Are there
slum and non-slum differences?"is research of great interest in the field. However, I would like
to add some comments and questions:
-Add main hypothesis at the end of the background. I recommend to named it introduction.
-The authors state that female population are majority, but they are only 1% difference in relation
to men
-What was the rationale for the age groups? Is there any exclusion criteria? You use English
language for data collection. Was it an impediment for someone?
-The procedure section should contain the number of participants that reject to enter on the study,
time dedicated to answer the questionnaires, place, etc.
- Do you have any information about non-response? Were outliers removed from the data?
Please, which method did you use to deal with missing data in the analyses? What variables are
related to missing data? How do you manage with desirability in the subjects´responses?
-Table 4, Table 5, Table 6. Please mention which is the reference category in the text.
-In the discussion section the results are contrasted with other research (consistent or not
with previous studies). However, I would recommend the authors to substantiate   hypotheses
regarding the possible causes of the results based on literature. Some of the explanations appear
to be mere conjectures by the authors, for example “higher level of education by the man may
translate to unnecessary protection and jealousy”.
-At the final part of the text the authors stress the need to establish public health interventions.
According to the results, what direction should the interventions carried out in this regard take?
Title: An Online Survey on Coping Methods for Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause,
Including Vulvovaginal Atrophy, among Japanese Women and Their Satisfaction Levels
Version: 1 Date: 07 Apr 2023
Reviewer:  Koichi Shinohara
Reviewer's report:
This paper is carefully described about the symptom frequency, coping methods of genitourinary
syndrome of menopause (GSM) in Japanese women.
The number of samples is sufficient, and the description of symptoms also covers detailed
concerns peculiar to women.
This is the first survey conducted on a nationwide scale that shows the ``embarrassing'' refusal
to visit hospital that is unique to Japanese people.
Most impressive results were, those unwilling to seek medical consultation despite their
symptoms accounted for the greatest proportion (34.8%), with (23.9%) having never sought
consultation.
Although the data is parsed properly, I recommend changing it to a table because there are many
pie charts, and it takes a lot of space.

Version: 1 Date: 19 Apr 2023
Reviewer's report:
Comments to the Author
This is a fundamentally interesting survey, however there are a few significant unclear
information.
1. Page 1 Line 20:  Here you state materials and methods. Could you give more information about
methods? How patient assess/answer the survey? How do you test the validity and reliability
of a questionnaire/survey?
2. The context in which “GSM including VVA” should be Vulvovaginal Atrophy (VVA)/
Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) because  NAMS replaced VVA with GSM that
you stated in introduction part
3. It is not clear to me why the number of patients from the survey were 4488 with GSM but
only 1031 were included in the study? Please describe in more detail how you selected the case
in this survey.
4. Form inclusion criteria, you included women in their 40S in the study. How you sure that
this patient got menopause?
5. According to results, do you have the duration of menopause? The interesting aspect of this
point, in my opinion, is that GSM was more severe during times. It may associate with your
question about coping method.

Title: Advanced Cervical Stump Cancer After Laparoscopic Subtotal Hysterectomy: A Case
Report of Imaging, Laparoscopic Staging and Treatment Approach.
Version: 1 Date: 16 Apr 2023
Reviewer's report:
The paper is interesting and stump cervical cancer represent a clinical challenge.
However I have some comments:
1. why the authors have chosen chemoradiation in a stage IVb cervical cancer ?(positive
peritoneal pouch at laparoscopy);
2. the paper would be more interesting if the discussion will be enriched with a little review of
the literature concerning these challenging cases;
3. subtotal hysterectomy sometimes is performed in case of obstetrics complications, please cite
this possibility in the text (cite : Emergency peri partum hysterectomy in a tertiary teaching
hospital: a 14-years review by D'Arpe et al, Archives Gynecol Obstetrics 2015);
4. neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by radical surgery could be an option , but some variables
should be considered. please cite this possibility in the text (cite Survival nomograms after
curative neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radical surgery....by Marchetti et al, Cancer Research
and treatment 2018
5. Please underline the role of immunotherapy in cervical cancer (Cite immuno check point in
cervical cancer by De Felice et al , CROH 2018)

Reviewer's report:
My evaluation of the manuscript “Advanced Cervical Stump Cancer After Laparoscopic
Subtotal Hysterectomy: A Case Report of Imaging, Laparoscopic Staging, and Treatment
Approach” is as follows:
1. This manuscript needs English editing for punctuation errors and minor mistakes.
2. Figures need arrowheads to become clarified
3. What were the imaging results about hydronephrosis and suspicious lymph nodes’ locations?
4. What is the tumor board’s opinion about the case?
a. Lines 99-102
b. Why didn’t you choose PET-CT or PET-MRI for the case instead of performing surgery?
c. Why did you perform appendectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy?
5. How did you define the patients’ stage as FIGO IVa instead of IIIb?

Report of Imaging, Laparoscopic Staging and Treatment Approach.
Version: 1 Date: 18 Apr 2023
Reviewer:  Giorgio Bogani
Reviewer's report:
In my opinion, the analyzed topic is interesting enough to attract the readers’ attention. The goal
of this  article was to report the imaging and treatment approaches of a case of advanced uterine
cervical stump carcinoma after laparoscopic subtotal hysterectomy. I think that the abstract of
this article should be reorganized because the aim of the study is not very clear.
In my opinion, the discussion could be studied in depth and extended. Maybe, it could be
useful the evaluation of the state of the art of hysterectomy approaches after the LACC trial. In
particular I suggest these two articles  PMID: 36141917 and PMID: 36293758. Because of these
reasons, the article should be revised and completed. Figures are clear. The layout of the article
should be reorganized, in particular the reference part.  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:  Ilaria Cuccu
Reviewer's report:
I read with great interest the Manuscript titled " Advanced Cervical Stump Cancer After
Laparoscopic Subtotal Hysterectomy: A Case Report of Imaging, Laparoscopic Staging and
Treatment Approach.”, topic interesting enough to attract readers' attention.
Authors should clarify some points and improve the discussion citing relevant and novel key
articles about the topic:
- I suggest a round of language revision, in order to correct few typos and improve readability.
- The authors could extend the discussion by evaluating current evidence about minimally
invasive surgery for cervical cancer and the practice patterns considering morbidity and
complications.  For example, I suggest these articles PMID: 35909005 and 35549629.
Because of these reasons, the article should be revised and completed. Figures are clear and
interesting. Considering all these points, I think it could be of interest to the readers and, in my
opinion, it deserves the priority to be published after minor revisions

Title: Late Postpartum Depression and Associated Factors: Community-based Cross-sectional
Study
Version: 0 Date: 17 Feb 2023
Reviewer's report:
Title:
Late Postpartum Depression and Associated Factors: Community-based Cross-sectional Study
Abstract:
Background: late postpartum depression
Result: AOR = 2.64; 95%CI: 1.18, 5.91),
Recommendation: Therefore, the ministry of health, zonal health departments, and other
concerned bodies should develop effective strategies to overcome this problem based on
identified factors for postpartum mothers beyond the early postpartum period.
Introduction:
Three pages of introduction is very huge information that may not attract the readers…it is the
only last paragraph that reported about your objective ‘late PPD’…the rest is very general…
please focus and finish in one or one a half page (definition and description of the outcome
variable, major problems related to the outcome variable, what others did to solve the problem
with justifications including FMOH direction, gap you identified and your intention on how to
minimize the gap). Instead, I opt for conceptual framework
Method:
Study design, area and period
The expected deliveries  in
What about availability of maternity services, number of health care workers especially
midwives, nurses and OBS/GYNAE etc
Source Population
All postpartum mothers who were in the first year after childbirth
…mothers with known mental health problems  were excluded from this study
Operational definition:
Late postpartum depression : is
Household Wealth Index: was assessed based on 38 items  based on t
Data collection:
Under data collection, you have to treat tool, data collectors and data collection procedure;
you said nothing here except the tool, you have to properly report how you collected the
information through interview administered approach…place and time of interview thinking its
being community-based---how you managed very sensitive questions like what you reported in
the result not fulfilling partner sexual need…very difficult to accept it with face to face interview
being in the community…being illiterate…in our community/society norm/value etc
Ethical issue
What about ethics report? What did you for those with PPD? Disclosing and leaving aside
without intervention is unethical and illegal.
Result:
Similarly, 33.2%  and 35.1% of
Prevalence of Late Postpartum Depression
Avoid redundancy; as it is a result report not discussion or you can’t indicate your stand here…
the first report is enough
Table 5 seems congested and please check and revise
DISCUSSION
The first paragraph should report summary of the findings
Avoid figures from the discussion and focus on the interpretation, synthesis and evaluation of
the result.
Consider feasibility, homogeneity, affordability, relevance and other issues while comparing
and contrasting
Limitation and strength
At least collecting asset variables to calculate HH Wealth index could be mentioned as strength
Conclusion and recommendation:
Consider previous comments in the abstract
Title: Late Postpartum Depression and Associated Factors: Community-based Cross-sectional
Study
Version: 2 Date: 24 Mar 2023
Reviewer's report:
Thank you for your effort in accepting and editing the document here are some additional
comments.
• Instead of highlighting the changes you made it would have been clearer to use track change
• It will be nice if you add one or two key words, it will help readers to find your research easily
On the discussion part
• Most of the paragraphs on the discussion part lacks figures, it will be better if you use numbers
(AOR) to discuss the findings
• The interpretation you used to discuss about meeting couples' sexual needs, a short inter-
delivery interval needs correction, it will be better if you use AOR to express the likelihood of
occurrence
“From this study, 35.8% of mothers who suffered from difficulty meeting couples' sexual needs
were at higher risk of developing late postpartum depression, which was 25.6% higher than their
counterparts” is not correctly interpreted please correct the interpretation.
“this study shows that 40% of postpartum mothers who had a short inter-delivery interval were
30% more likely than their counterparts to develop late postpartum depression”
Title: Comparing the clinical efficacy of three surgical methods for cesarean scar pregnancy
Version: 0 Date: 29 Jan 2023
Reviewer's report:
Thank you to  let me review this interesting manuscript. It is a very interesting original article
about different type of treatment in different type of CSP. The manuscript is well written,
however I have some questions:
- In the hysteroscopic approach at page 5 line 109 it is reported the Hysteroscopic
electrocoagulation, in my opinion it is better to write hysteroscopic removal or ablation or
resectoscopic removal
- In group 2 there are no type 3 CSPs, could this not have influenced the results?
-In the conclusions section the first sentence  does not agree with the results of the work, it
should be removed
- In some parts of the manuscript, in my opinion, the references to support what is written are
missing (for example line 230 page 11, line 201 page 10 etc.).
I suggest some interesting manuscript:  https://doi.org/10.3390/medicina57050411; https://
