COVID-19-Related Anxiety Symptoms among Quarantined Adolescents and Its Impact on Sleep Pattern Changes and Somatic Symptoms
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
interesting and well-done study,
please consider if "children" in the title, abstract and main text is suitable if children aged 10-17 were examined, maybe better "adolescents"?
in the methods section, 2.1 Study group is missing, it is in abstract.
numbering of subsections could be added:
2.2. Measures
2.3. Data analyses
lines 127-128, not Likert scale but ordinal scale, what 1 means?
t-scores or T-scores? they both are used in the manuscript, please unify.
results section and table 1, only one decimal is enough for mean and Sd of age and days:14.0 years, 2.0, 12.6 days, 1.4.
line 166 probably a mistake: "29% experienced mild sleep disturbances", 29% mild or moderate or severe in table 2.
line 167-169 - the presented results are not in any table?
line 196 add "and positive" correlation
line 237 "significantly higher" compared to parents' assessment.
Discussion, lines 254 and 259 on the beginning add "In our study..."
line 323 on the beginning "Should" means "because"?
lines 355-356 and lines 360-362 should be deleted.

Reviewer 2 Report
Very interesting research. I believe the authors should add the limitations of the dish and the implications to the practice.
