Title: Poor Social Support as a risk factor for Antenatal Depressive Symptoms among Women attending Public Antennal Clinics in Penang, Malaysia. Authors: abdul rashid ([email protected]) Rokiah Mohd ([email protected]) Version: 1 Date: 02 Sep 2017 Author’s response to reviews: SR Comments Response Reviewer 1 Methodology What is the formula used to define sample size? They mentioned studies from Pakistan and Thailand to define sample size but this is not an adequate motif. For example, a study with a 90% power should define the prevalence of AD expected to be detected Re worded to “Stata was used to calculate the sample size. Using studies from Pakistan (25.0%) and Thailand (20.5%) [1, 2] as a reference for sample size calculation, a sample size of 2928 expecting mothers was required for the study to have 90% power to determine 20% prevalence.” The analysis paragraph needs to be improved. The main exposure variable is social support obtained from OSS-3 although other measurements of social support was used. There is no explanation about the adjustment used (what are the confoundings variable?) Re written as “Prevalence of antenatal depression is reported along with the risk of depressive symptoms due to poor social support which was reported as odds ratio and attributable risk. Poor social support, family and husbands support on the pregnancy were used in the logistics regression analysis to account for confounders and results were reported as adjusted odds ratio.”
