Reviewer 2 Report
The authors investigated about the association between malnutrition (undernutrition and obesity) and severe acute pancreatitis in hospitalized children and adolescents.
The rational behind the study was clear and straight forward. The manuscript is almost well written.
The introduction section is quite short, authors should elaborate on the introduction better.
