Condom use remains the most effective means of preventing sexually transmitted infections
(STIs), including the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and unintended pregnancy
4. Kindly give these statistics /rates /proportions under:
Furthermore, while the global unintended pregnancy rate has declined, the proportion of
unintended pregnancies ending in abortion has increased even in settings where the practice is
restricted [5].

For this statement:
Despite the availability of condoms, sexually active young women continue to put themselves
at risk of STIs and unintended pregnancy.
6. Kindly give some global statistics under:
Like all STIs, the HIV prevalence varies widely with geographic location.
For the above, read and cite:

8. Kindly give reference for:
Studies in sub-Saharan Africa have found a strong relationship between gender inequality,
restrictive gender norms, and condom use.
9. Kindly try to reflect on some studies done in nearby Caribbean countries as well
METHODS
10. What were the exclusion and inclusion criteria?
Page 7 and 8
11. What criteria was used to select variables for the final model? Was it still p-value <0.05?
12. Kindly assess for multicollinearity
13. Is it possible to do a sensitivity analysis with married women excluded from the analysis?
DISCUSSION
Page 15
14. Kindly revise this because in the results, urban women are more likely to use condoms
Consistent with previous studies in South Africa [43], in Malawi [44] and in China [45], female
youth from rural areas were more likely to use condom.
CONCLUSSION
15. Kindly use the results you have and give more specific recommendations that are based on
the significant variables in the study

Title: The role of daughters in relation to their mother’s cervical cancer diagnosis and treatment
in Guatemala: a descriptive study
Version: 2 Date: 23 Jan 2023
Reviewer:  Megan Swanson
Reviewer's report:
The authors have investigated an important aspect of treatment acquisition for cervical cancer in
Guatemala, both because of the additional burden of cervical cancer on women and because of
the potential daughters hold in improving adherence.  Both are crucial points as we (the larger
community of physicians and advocates) seek to improve access to care for cervical cancer
(WHO Cervical Cancer Elimination Goals contain a goal of 90% of women with cervical cancer
accessing treatment).
I have just a few comments for the authors to consider:
- In the introduction, would be helpful to explain what types of treatments are available for
women with cervical cancer, especially advanced.  Is radiation available?  As external beam
radiotherapy is typically 5 weeks with additional brachytherapy treatments usually following,
this is a significantly different ordeal than presenting for one surgery and/or coming for
chemotherapy once every few weeks.  Nature and duration of treatment would have implications
for daughter/caregiver's involvement and sacrifice.
- In Methods, when thinking about study population, perhaps the population should have
been restricted to those who have adult daughters/daughter-in-laws?  Not essential as this is a
descriptive study, I think OK to address later in "Limitations."
- In Results,  first paragraph, I would remove "which led to the receipt of cervical cancer
screening" and just note what % presented with symptoms.  "Cervical cancer screening" is
confusing as ideally screening is done for asymptomatic women (I know that especially in
LMICs, "screening clinics" are often where symptomatic women with cancer may first present,
but I think it's confusing and not necessary.
- In Results, also first paragraph, do we know what % of participants have daughters/daughter-
in-laws (DILs)?  Especially adult daughters/DILs?  OK to mention in limitations if not.
- In Discussion, I would take out the part about electronic tablets in "strengths."
- In Discussion, in limitations I would mention that perhaps we don't know if all participants
definitely had daughters/DILs, especially adult daughters/DILs - this seems important to me to
consider.  Though, if anything, this would likely "bias toward the null" as daughters/DILs are
this important to the group and maybe not all participants even had one.
- In Conclusions, I would consider not only the loss of productivity burden extending beyond
just the patient to include her female family members, especially daughters; but, I would also
consider the opportunity daughters may bring.  Daughters/DILs are maybe an important "target"
for interventions to increase adherence to treatment (especially as you previously reported that
many women are not able to actually follow-through and access and/or complete treatment).

Title: A population-based cross-sectional study on the situation of cervical cancer screening in
Liaoning, China
Version: 0 Date: 16 Jan 2023
Reviewer's report:
This population-based cross-sectional study was conducted to analyze the factors of the CC
screening rate and the willingness of CC screening, to provide a scientific basis for improving
the CC screening rate.
The study has practical implications for improving the effectiveness of cervical cancer screening
for women in the target areas.
I have the following comments:
1. As far as I know, in China, breast and cervical cancers are generally performed together. Is it
possible to include data on breast cancer for analysis to further improve the validity of the data?
2. How were the survey respondents in the target areas identified, and what were the exclusion
and access criteria?
3. Is there quality control of the survey process for the data? What measures have been taken?
4. What is the geographical distribution and economic level of the nine county-level/district-
level? Is it representative of Liaoning Province?
5. The word "yuan" in the article can be expressed in "CNY".
6. Please add references from some of the discussions. For example, "Young women, especially
those with higher education level and/or higher income level, were likely to pay more attention
to their health and had more access to relevant information to increase their knowledge."
7. "Health status has a significant impact on the willingness of CC screening, but has no
significant impact on CC screening." What are the possible explanations for this phenomenon?
8. The language of the article is suggested to be further optimized.
Title: A population-based cross-sectional study on the situation of cervical cancer screening in
Liaoning, China
Version: 0 Date: 20 Jan 2023
Reviewer:  Diama Bhadra Vale
Reviewer's report:
Dear authors.
Congratulations on your work.
It is a cross-sectional study of aspects of cervical cancer screening coverage and willingness to
participate in a Chinese Region. The sample is large, and the methods are adequate.
I have some suggestions to improve the reporting.
1 - Throughout the paper, you use the expression "screening rate" when referring to coverage.
Was it intentional? Coverage seems more appropriate.
2 - A broad audience has no knowledge regarding Liaoning. Is it a region? Where? Urban?
Rural? How does the population access health care?
3 - Along with the previous commentary, there is a need to understand something about medical
insurance in China. We do not know what are the differences among the categories.
4 - I have a criticism regarding willingness to participate as a major barrier to cervical cancer
screening. I believe access is the main challenge. A woman can be willing to participate, but
without access, nothing happens. In fact, the success of population-based programs in Europe is
related to shifting the responsibility of participation from the women to the screening program
(call-and-recall system, personal invitations, etc).  I understand barriers to access were not the
focus of your work. However, the discussion of your results should be put in this context.
Improving awareness is part of the strategy, but screening is a much more complex activity and
needs a well-structured health system to be efficient.
5 - I would avoid the expression "less developed region", or "developed countries". It is
pejorative. I would suggest low- middle- high-income countries.
6 - You start the conclusions arguing about the HPV vaccine. This issue was not addressed in
the introduction or discussion sections, and it is not a result of your study. I would remove this
from the conclusion and address it in another section if necessary.
7 - Table 1 needs a legend.
8 - I would suggest referring to the population in table titles.
Best regards.
Title: Transition in the Ages at Key Reproductive Events and its determinants in India: Evidence
from NFHS 1992-93 to 2019-21
Version: 2 Date: 10 Jan 2023
Reviewer's report:
1. The current paper under review is a statistical analysis to explain changes in the ages of
different reproductive life events in India reflected over 5 NFHS rounds.
2. Secondary data from NFHS rounds were used in the analysis. This is to note that, from
NFHS-3 all women age 15-49 were interviewed, but, in the earlier 2 NFHS surveys, only ever-
married women age 15-49 were eligible for individual women interviews. Thus sample of the
first 2 rounds are not comparable with the later 3 rounds. It is thus may be appropriate to restrict
the analysis to the later 3 rounds.
3. The data used in the analysis are captured reproductive life events of women of 15-49 years
aggregated over age groups and NFHS rounds. However, this broad age bracket itself contains
a historical cohort of women for example from 15-19 to 44-49 and different set of proximate
determinants prevailed and affected these women differently from different age groups. Thus
a woman whose current age is of 44-49, in the life events has experienced and exposed to a
different set of socio cultural factors which are different for the women who are at present 15-19
years or from the high incidence (for age at marriage child birth in Indian context) age group of
20-24 and 25-19. The back grounds in which the older women were married and experienced
their reproductive ‘milestones’ were different than those of 20-24 or 25-29 years. This is also
reflected in the detail tables presented. Authors may like to respond explaining the variations.
4. Authors may add details in the supplementary file on Kaplan Meier Failure estimates figures
like what does the A1, A2 or A3; or B1, B2 and B3 etc within Figure A 1 mean. For example,
it is understood that the Figure A1 is age at First Cohabitation in India, now does the later A1,
A2 A3 and B1, B2 B3 mean data from different NFHS rounds ? Author may like to add.
5. In the discussion, it is mentioned that “school or never had schooling or those residing in rural
areas, having no mass media exposure”--- “were more likely to have initiated sex early than
others”. These determinants in Indian context are not discrete but are overlapping. The primary
one being availability and access to education in formal setup. The longer the girls are in school
they are able to delay the reproductive events and resulting “reproductive span” is thus shortened.
It may be interesting to note how this differences were addressed in the analysis. NFHS reports
identified that the greatest differentials in fertility are by religion, caste/tribe affiliation, and
schooling. And thus the predictor variables in the current analysis could have been restricted.
Title: Transition in the Ages at Key Reproductive Events and its determinants in India: Evidence
from NFHS 1992-93 to 2019-21
Version: 2 Date: 02 Feb 2023
Reviewer's report:
1. The paper analyses determinants of three reproductive events: 1) age at cohabitation; 2) age
at first sex; and 3) age at first birth. Cohabitation needs to be defined further.
2. The three reproductive events are correlated. The correlation between the three reproductive
events has not been analysed.
3. Since the three reproductive events are correlated, the multivariate logistic regression analysis
should be used to analyse their determinants.
4. The determinants of the three reproductive events may differ across different states of the
country as the reproductive health satiation and the overall social and economic development
situation is different in different states. It is, therefore, important that state fixed effects are first
controlled before analysing the determinants over time.
5. The analysis can be simplified so that the findings of the analysis have specific policy
implications.
Title: De novo myeloid sarcoma mimicking gynecological tumors: a retrospective case series
of eight patients
Version: 2 Date: 18 Feb 2023
Reviewer:  Guantai Ni
Reviewer's report:
In this study, the sample size is small . It could add some clinical data, such as follow-up
information, intra-operative findings and postoperative recovery.
Information about relatives of the included subjects was confirmed by themselves via electronic
records or telephone interview. Please supplement the supporting objective materials.
The radical treatment for MS in the female genital tract should be chemotherapy and surgery
and the extent of resection ought to be described exactly.
In this study, MLL/AF9 gene fusions, and CEBPA, JAK2, NRAS, and FLT3-TKD mutations
should be detailed recorded.
Title: De novo myeloid sarcoma mimicking gynecological tumors: a retrospective case series
of eight patients
Version: 2 Date: 25 Feb 2023
Reviewer:  Giorgio Bogani
Reviewer's report:
I read with great interest the Manuscript titled "De novo myeloid sarcomas mimicking
gynecological tumors: a retrospective case series of eight patients" 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.
- I also suggest 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. I find interesting to include a reference to the
adoption of strategies for the improvement of surgically treated patients' outcomes  (I suggest
authors to read and insert in references the following article PMID: 33139130).
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.

Version: 2 Date: 25 Feb 2023
Reviewer:  Violante di Donato
Reviewer's report:
In my opinion, this topic analyzed is interesting enough to attract readers’ attention.
The goal of this retrospective study is the description of myeloid sarcomas which mimic
gynecological tumors and provide guidelines for improving the diagnosis and treatment of
patients.
In my opinion the abstract of this article is very clear and a goes straight to the point.
Maybe, could be useful to evaluate the current state of art on  uterine sarcomas . In fact, for
example I suggest this article to get deeper in the topic: PMID 33934848.
In my opinion, the discussion could be for these reasons studied in deep and extended.
An extensive correction of the English language is necessary in order to make the work
clearer and more readable.
Tables’ layout are clear and interesting.
Because of these reasons, the article should be revised and completed.
