Review of: "Statistical Overview of Prevalence of Anaemia with Associated Socioeconomic and Demographic Factors in Nigeria"
Résumé
Factors In Nigeria General CommentsThe study used data from the Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) for the Malaria Indicator Survey (MIS) in 2021.The title and authors presented at the beginning of the manuscript are well written, though the title needs to be revised to depict the manuscript's main purpose of the study as it is not statistical overview; rather, it is determining the prevalence of anemia and assessing associated factors, and needs to be revised.The abstract and introduction were presented well, but they need a lot of work, as commented below under the detailed comment section.Though it is mentioned that the data was taken from the 2021 MIS/DHS, the study design used needs to be clearly stated (analytic cross-sectional study).The target population for this study is not clearly stated (women aged 15-29 years and children 6-59 months were indicated under the introduction section, but the findings were presented just for children 6-59 months old).The sample size and sampling method used also need to be described well.The analysis section was not presented as part of the methodology; rather, it was discussed under the results and discussion (Analysis, Results, and Discussion), which needs to be moved.The detailed description of the statistical measurements used and its elaboration is not in line with the purpose of this study.Additionally, the analysis, results, and discussion were presented under one sub-section that needs to be revised, putting the analysis section under methodology.It is advised that in a scientific paper, the author can follow the Introduction, Method, Results, and Discussion (IMRAD) format.Besides the order, the contents of these sections need also to be looked at.
