Reviewer 2 Report

In the description of the patients (figure 1) I would do better the two separate tables that explain the case series, one with the nutritional characteristics and one with the neurological characteristics of the diseases.

  • Thank you for your kind opinion. We modified figure 1 to table 1 and table 2 according to your advice.

We all appreciate your valuable comments. Your comments make our manuscript more precise.

We look forward to your positive answer.

Round 2

Reviewer 1 Report

I think that the quality of the document has improved after the changes made by the authors. However, regarding the changes in anthropometric data the results presented (lines 192-193) are for 16 children (100%), when they previously say that they included 18. It must be clarified.

Author Response

I appreciate your precise comment. We are sorry for the lack of explanation. Out of total 18 children, 16 children were aged ≥ 24 months, and these 16 refer to children who can be evaluated by BMI-for-age according to WHO growth standard and Korea National Growth Chart guidelines. Other 2 children were under 24 months and could not be evaluated by BMI-for-age. Instead, they were assessed by weight-for-height curve according to these guidelines. In addition, we have analyzed weight-for-height z-score data along with the BMI-for-age z-score data, and the difference between the initial visit and the 6-month visit was also significant (P=0.003). However, we have excluded this result from the manuscript and described the data separately, because BMI-for-age and weight-for-height were different parameters. We added information in the method (Line 102-104, and 119-121) and result (Line 141 and 161-166) session. And we added a discussion of these 2 children under 24 months (Line 275-276). Thank you for the comment again.
