Title: Knowledge on Cervical Cancer Screening and Vaccination among females at Oyibi
Community.
Version: 3 Date: 04 Mar 2021
Reviewer's report:
Design of the study and analysis are well described and results of the analysis well presented.
Results of the study certainly give an interesting insight in the understanding of this particular
problem in this particular community.
There are some major corrections to the text that I believe need to be made before the article
is suitable for publication.
1.  This screening cannot be done for virgins because they have not had any sexual
intercourse »Knowledge on cervical Cancer Screening and Vaccination among females at Oyibi
Community.
I am not sure I understand what the first sentence of the title is trying to tell me. That is probably
the reason that I don’t like it and I don’t find it necessary. I believe  Knowledge on cervical
Cancer Screening and Vaccination among females at Oyibi Community could suffice.
2. Abstract
Abstract should be rewritten, Background (is already there. A qualitative exploratory design…
goes into Methods), Methods (currently under Results), Results (currently partly under
Conclusions).
3. Keywords
lower case
4. References
References should be reorganized completely.
References should be marked by the numbers in brackets at the end of the sentence as they
appear in the text.
Instead of ……Aswaty, Quereshi, Kurian, & Leelamoni, (2012)  there should be
…..Aswaty et al. discovered that….#No#.          throughout the text.
5. Lines are not numbered
6. The last sentence of the introduction: The study therefore aim to explore the Knowledge on
Cervical Cancer Screening and Vaccination : lower case knowledge….
Data were collected over a period of One and Half  month: lower case
7. Why were the letters submitted to the assembly man and elders of the Oyibi community?
8. What are the inclusive criteria?
8. Results
- (35) in brackets not necessary, Focus Group Discussions –lower case?
-  5years….5 years
- 19-29years…it shoul be    19#29 years
- the least age recorded was 19..   the youngest and the oldest participant
- Secundary, Terciary education  ..lower case
- P13 probably represents participant No 13. I suggest you the use of the same form through the
results section. Use or don’t use brackets, but do it the same way at the end of all quotes.
….talking about them right now.” (P 19)
9. At the end of quotes (Results) Discussion section begins (insert title Discussion)
• in sync ????
• 115USD   it should be 115 USD  (several times in Awareness about cervical cancer screening
cost and vaccination cost)
10. Conclusion section is missing
11. Information of participants’ consent should be part of the Methods section
12. References: organize them according to BMC policies.
13. I suggest review of the text by an English lecturer.
Title: Risk factors of Local Recurrence Following Implant-based Breast Reconstruction in
breast cancer patients.
Version: 3 Date: 28 Feb 2021
Reviewer:  Naoto Kondo
Reviewer's report:
In this paper the authors report the risk factors of local reccurence following implant-based breast
reconstruction in breast cancer patients. However, there are several minor issues in this paper.
1. In this paper, total mastectomy and skin-sparing mastectomy are treated as the same, but they
are clearly distinguished in general rules for clinical and pathological recording of breast cancer
(The 17th Edition), and the method of skin excision is also different, so I think they should be
considered separately.
2. Are there any rules in your institute as to whether needle biopsy tract are resected or not?
Also, if not, I think that this could be one of the risk factor.
3. Why did this study not include cases with autologous tissue reconstruction ? If you have a
reason for exclusion, please specify it.
4. Please describe what kind of surgiacal margin results would have led you to perform a re-
resection.
5. LuminalA and B are distinguished by mRNA. I think it would be more appropriate to describe
it as Luminal A-like, or collectively as Luminal type.
Title: Risk factors of Local Recurrence Following Implant-based Breast Reconstruction in
breast cancer patients.
Version: 3 Date: 06 Mar 2021
Reviewer:  Hirohito Seki
Reviewer's report:
This is a very worthful retrospective study verifying the risk factors for local recurrence in
patients with operable breast cancer who received implant-based breast reconstruction.
I would be glad if my suggestions help you to improve your literature.
#1
In the introduction (page 3, line 9), “Recently, however, local recurrence has increasingly been
observed in patients with implant-based breast reconstruction.”
Do you have any references showing that LR has been increasing in patients with implant-based
breast reconstruction?
#2
In table 2, please add “(M)” to “Local recurrence free survival”.
#3
According to table 2, most of patients with LR were # 50 years old.
Can you show the statistical difference of LR between premenopausal and post-menopausal#
Title: Experiences of family violence and parental unavailability in childhood in relation to
parental socioeconomic position and psychological problems: A cohort study of young Swedish
women 1990 – 2013
Version: 2 Date: 18 Dec 2020
Reviewer's report:
Comments to the Author
This is an interesting article about the prevalence of family violence and parental unavailability
in childhood and its association with parental SEP parental and psychological problems. Below,
I note a few areas for improvement and I wish the authors the best of luck in continuing to work
on this manuscript. I offer some simple suggestions to improve the article.
Language: I suggest changing the following in the Introduction: 4) use of negative attributions
and misattributions directed at the child and finally; ; and finally 5) emotional unavailability
and unresponsiveness.
Page 2 line 2: “are given”; …
Do you have any hypothesis on why you observed that women of parents with medium SEP
were more likely to experience family violence in childhood than women of parents with low
parental SEP?
Is it possible for authors to add a Descriptive table, with parental SEP, Maternal psychological
problems and paternal psychological problems? Or at least add this information to Table 1?
Also, it might be interesting to see some discussion on the apparent increase in reported maternal
and paternal psychological problems. Is it for more awareness? Just some thought on this would
be interesting.

Title: Contributing barriers to loss to follow up from antenatal care services in villages around
Addis Ababa: a qualitative study
Version: 1 Date: 23 Jan 2021
Reviewer's report:
This is an interesting paper that needs some minor revisions for improvement.
The study is technically sound with no major methodological flaw.
The claims and the conclusions are supported by the presented data.
There are minor reflections in the different sections of the paper.
One key issue to be addressed during the revision is the focus of the study. The title and the
objective mentioned only the barriers for the defaulting/loss to follow up from ANC service.
But, in some parts of the Result/Discussion/Conclusion, quality of ANC service was the focus.
For the detailed and complete reflections, go through each of the track changes and the comment
boxes of the commented manuscript.
Title: Perspectives on self-managed abortion among providers in hospitals along the Texas-
Mexico border
Version: 1 Date: 03 Jan 2021
Reviewer's report:
Congratulations to the authors on this important work. However, the manuscript would benefit
from further revisions.
Introduction - needs to be revised and perhaps would benefit ordering ideas - some sentences
are repeated (lines 45 - 63 read the same).
Methods - please indicate what is the overall theoretical framework of the study? and also if
providers received any incentive for their time.
Results - no comments, reads well.
Discussion - there seems to be a disconnect between the results reported and the discussion. The
authors go into detail of the importance of compassion in care (which I agree is important) but
its missing from the quotes (or the lack of compassion) as well as the introduction as well as the
information on the legality of abortion. Missing in limitations - the small sample size.
Title: Perspectives on self-managed abortion among providers in hospitals along the Texas-
Mexico border
Version: 1 Date: 06 Jan 2021
Reviewer:  Jessica Shaw
Reviewer's report:
Thank you to the authors for this important manuscript on understanding healthcare provider
perspectives on supporting people who seek medical care after self-managed abortion (SMA).
Thank you too to the previous reviewers, whose comments were thoughtful and thorough. The
strength of writing combined with having reviewed this manuscript after revisions have already
been made based on previous reviewer comments, means that my suggestions are minor. I would
recommend this manuscript for publication, and look forward to citing it in my own work.
My minor comments are as follows:
-Lines 43-44: The authors write, “Growing evidence suggests that some people in the US manage
the termination of a pregnancy on their own outside of the health care system.” A citation here
(or several) would serve to support of the statement, and to direct the reader to other publications
should they be interested in developing their knowledge about the prevalence of SMA in the US.
-Line 252 “tendencies” is misspelled as tendences
-Should lines 269-272 proceed the beginning of the new sentence in line 262? They are currently
two stand-alone sentences, and seem to be related to the statement and quote that begin on 262.
Title: A Novel Banana Fiber Pad for Menstrual Hygiene in India: A Feasibility and Acceptability
study
Version: 2 Date: 02 Jan 2021
Reviewer's report:
The paper is on the critical issue of eco-friendly and cost-effective sanitary napkins. Review of
literature and rational of study are well drafted.
Data and Design of Study: It is mentioned in the paper that orientation was given first, then
selected the study's participation at the second stage. In the orientation programme users of BFP
only invited or it was a general group who were using it or not.  I understand that this product is
still not available in the market. Hence, women must be getting it from school or Ashram. It is
essential to know participants' preferences about the place of procurement, frequency of supply,
and disposal mechanism. The second component about feasibility is the difficulties faced in
procurement and use by participants. Thus, it will be useful to mention it in the paper about the
procurement of napkins.
The study is of users of BFP for more than four months.  Analysis of acceptability is fair with
this data set. However, to understand the feasibility, a case-control study would have been better.
To overcome this issue, the authors must examine those who have used it for less than four
months versus those who have used more than four months. Moreover, the authors are silent on
the discontinuation of BFP. Hence, request the authors to include those who have stopped and
their feedback in the analysis.
Analysis: Statistical analysis for the scale's validity and converting scale items to index by factor
analysis is appreciated. However, if authors have already calculated score for acceptability and
feasibility, then linear regression would have been better than logistic regression.  Why is the
score converted to binomial measurement?
Title: A Novel Banana Fiber Pad for Menstrual Hygiene in India: A Feasibility and Acceptability
study
Version: 4 Date: 15 Feb 2021
Reviewer's report:
Authors have mentioned that in the urban areas, people are buying sanitary pads online. Hence,
request the author to give the website from where these girls are buying the sanitary napkins.
In the case of rural areas, it is mentioned that NGO is supplying. However, it is not very clear
whether it is a purchase or free supply. The feasibility study is only possible when purchased.
In conclusion, the authors may write about those who discontinued these napkins within four
months. It will highlight the benefits and limitations
Title: Iranian Women's Psychological Responses to positive HPV test result: A Qualitative
Study
Version: 1 Date: 11 Jan 2021
Reviewer's report:
Background needs further work to clearly communicate the gap
Methods: Needs to be reviewed by a qualitative methods expert. Not sure how hpv related
information was provided to women. Authors need to check the statement.
Overall: Needs to be reviewed for grammar. The referencing system is not ideal and is confusing
for the reader.
Title: Iranian Women's Psychological Responses to positive HPV test result: A Qualitative
Study
Version: 3 Date: 19 Feb 2021
Reviewer:  Christine Campbell
Reviewer's report:
The authors have responded well to reviewers' comments, and I consider this to be a stronger
manuscript.
Some small wording suggestions for clarity:
Abstract - change to '40 Iranian women who received a positive high-risk HPV result'
Background, page 3, line 20: rather than 'less developed countries', better to say 'low and middle
income countries'
Page 11, line 20: 'A few women' would be better than 'Few women...'
One point I think needs revisited. This reviewer asked the authors to consider if there was a
potential limitation of carrying out interviews over a 15 month period: this is the response in
the Discussion:
"Since the duration of conducting interviews in the current study was relatively long (fifteen
months), this seems to be considered as a study limitation because our participants' HPV-related
information that might have shaped their attitudes may have changed during this time"
I don't think the wording "this seems to be considered as a study limitation" is helpful or
informative wording. Do you consider it a study limitation, or not? Better to say something
along the lines of "Interviews were carried out over a fifteen month period, due to researcher
availability. However, we do not think this would have affected our findings as there was no
major news or online media coverage of HPV during this time period, or change in health
professional communication guidance"
Title: Risk factors of deep vein thrombosis of lower extremity in patients undergone
gynecological laparoscopic surgery: what should we care
Version: 1 Date: 16 Feb 2021
Reviewer's report:
The authors have conducted a nice study highlighting incidence of post-operative DVT at a
single center after gynecologic surgery and bringing to light some pertinent risk factors.  Below
are some comments and questions for the authors
Background:
1) Line 3 in the first paragraph “once the DVT occurs….; please consider shortening and revising
this sentence, primarily focusing on highlighting that the feared complication of DVT is a PE.
In the next sentence, please omit the sensory function and motor function aspects, these are
more subjective symptoms. Generally PTS causes significant swelling and impacts QoL as the
authors correctly point out.
2)  Paragraph 2, line 3: However laparoscopic surgery… please revise this for grammar.
3) Paragraph 2 “in this study we retrospectively….” This portion is better suited for the methods
section. Instead please rephrase to put forward a hypothesis or aim of the study.
Methods, Results and Discussion:
4) Inclusion criteria 2: Did all patients undergo arterial or venous color ultrasound before and
after surgery? Please clarify this. As stated, the use of blood vessels is a very broad term.
5) Inclusion criteria 3: Please be more specific with regard to “blood system”. In addition, this is
also highlighted in point 3 of the exclusion criteria and better described as an exclusion criteria.
6) Exclusion criteria point 2, consider using the term anticoagulation in lieu of blood coagulation
drugs
7) “diagnosis of DVT” Suggest that the authors shorten this paragraph without highlighting the
clinical manifestations, signs and sonographic findings
8) The authors have not mentioned DVT prophylaxis in post-operative patients or highlighted
their practice in this regard. Do the authors routinely utilize post-operative DVT prophylaxis? If
so, is this pharmacologic, or mechanical or both? This would need to be clarified in the methods
9) At what post-operative point are the patients routinely ambulatory and how frequently? The
definition of duration in bed is not clear, please elaborate and define this
10) It seems like the general distribution of the groups is quite skewed (DVT 41, and non-
dvt 314). Did the authors assess for normality of distribution? Are non-parametric tests more
appropriate here?
11) Why were 115 patients bedridden for > 3days? Please elaborate on clinical factors that
resulted in this.
12) The discussion is well written and covers a wide variety of factors relating to DVT and
gynecologic surgery. Please elaborate and also account for the role DVT prophylaxis and trends/
patterns and dosage variation in high risk patients.
Title: Risk factors of deep vein thrombosis of lower extremity in patients undergone
gynecological laparoscopic surgery: what should we care
Version: 1 Date: 18 Feb 2021
Reviewer:  Nicola Mumoli
Reviewer's report:
I read the article with much interest. Although this study had several limitations, clearly stated
by the authors, however the work covers an item under-represented in literature, and may serve
as a stimulus for other groups to replicate the study
Title: Risk factors of deep vein thrombosis of lower extremity in patients undergone
gynecological laparoscopic surgery: what should we care
Version: 3 Date: 03 Mar 2021
Reviewer's report:
I would like to thank the authors for systematically addressing all comments. One minor
comment/question:
The authors do a good job elaborating clinical recommendations for using heparin or LMWH
for post-operative prophylaxis. Why was pharmacological DVT prophylaxis not considered in
this patient cohort? Can this be briefly addressed in the discussion through a sentence or two?
Title: The role of unintended pregnancy in internalized stigma among women living with HIV
in Kenya
Version: 2 Date: 17 Dec 2020
Reviewer:  Kristi L. Stringer
Reviewer's report:
Reviewer Comments
Thank you for the opportunity to review the manuscript, " The role of unintended pregnancy
in internalized stigma among women living with HIV in Kenya ". This cross-sectional study
examines assess the association between unintended pregnancy and internalized stigma and
associations between internalized stigma and HIV-related discrimination and violence/abuse. A
better understanding of HIV-related stigma and unintended pregnancy is critically important.
There was a clear rationale for the inclusion of variables and an organized presentation of
information, making it easy to critically evaluate the content of the manuscript. Overall, this
paper is one of the best papers I have reviewed during my career. Kudos to the research team.
I have summarized minor concerns by section below.
Introduction
# The introduction provides clear support for the overall goal of examining how RH outcomes
can influence internalized stigma experienced by WLHIV.
# The shortening of the term reproductive health to RH seems unnecessary and not something I
have seen done previously (e.g. not a commonly used and recognized abbreviation).
Study locations
# It would be helpful to provide the prevalence of WLHIV and unintended pregnancy and/or
poor RH outcomes (if known) in this region
Measures
-   Data source: you could delete “This analysis uses data collected before the intervention was
implemented.” As it is redundant with the first sentence.
Results
# Table 1: Study sample characteristics: Given such high 12mo prevalence, I am interested
in knowing the lifetime prevalence of HIV stigma and violence (in addition to 12-month
prevalence, even if not used in the analysis)
# Figure 1: Percent of respondents who agreed with internalized stigma statements: in the
abstract you mention “About 48% agreed with at least one internalized stigma statement and
19% agreed with at least three”. I would like to see these (% agree with one, two, and 3 or more)
added to this figure
# I would like to see a similar breakdown for HIV related discrimination and violence in the last
12 months (similar to the information provided in figure 1) either in a figure, table, or just in the
text to talk provide a richer understanding of the type of stigma and violence experienced.
Discussion and Limitations
-     Throughout the paper, the authors reference the MAMAS study by Turan et al. but they
do appear to have excluded an important manuscript that emerged from that study that is
directly related to their suggestion for future research into RH/FP programs that assist WHLIV
pregnancies and reduction in stigma for WLHIV as well as main limitation of time between
sero-conversion and pregnancy.
