Dear Author,

It’s an interesting article.

Adrenal masses remain a challenge in terms of diagnosis and treatment for both gynecologist and, endocrinologist.  I consider that the article meets the criteria for publication.

Reviewer 5 Report

I read with great interest the Manuscript titled "O-RADS classification for ultrasound assessment of adnexal masses: agreement between IOTA lexicon and ADNEX model for assigning risk group" which falls within the aim of the Journal.

 

In my honest opinion, the topic is interesting enough to attract the readers’ attention. Methodology is accurate and conclusions are supported by the data analysis. Nevertheless, authors should clarify some point and improve the discussion citing relevant and novel key articles about the topic.

 

- I suggest another round of language revision, in order to correct few typos and improve readability.

- Discussions can be expanded and improved by citing relevant articles (I suggest authors to read and insert in references the following article PMID: 35343352).

For these reasons, I recommend the publication of the article, pending few minor revisions.

Answer: English language revised

Question: Discussions can be expanded and improved by citing relevant articles (I suggest authors to read and insert in references the following article PMID: 35343352).

Answer: Dear Reviewer. We found that PMID 35343352 refers to this article (Giovanni Buzzaccarini, Péter Török, Amerigo Vitagliano, Stamatios Petousis, Marco Noventa, Ismet Hortu, Andrea Giannini & Antonio Simone Laganà (2022) Predictors of Pain Development after Laparoscopic Adnexectomy: A Still Open Challenge, Journal of Investigative Surgery, 35:6, 1392-1393, DOI: 10.1080/08941939.2022.2056274) , which is a comment on other article (Lea Ebanga, Yohann Dabi, Jeremie Benichou, Gregoire Miailhe, Kamila Kolanska, Jennifer Uzan, Clement Ferrier, Sofiane Bendifallah, Bassam Haddad, Emile Darai & Cyril Touboul (2022) Surgical Determinants of Post Operative Pain in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Adnexectomy, Journal of Investigative Surgery, 35:6, 1386-1391, DOI: 10.1080/08941939.2022.2045395) . We are not sure whether you actually refer to it since these papers refer to pain after surgery and not to differential diagnosis of adnexal masses. It seems they are not closely related to the topic of our research. Please, could you confirm you refer to these manuscripts? 

We have made no change in the manuscript.

Question: For these reasons, I recommend the publication of the article, pending few minor revisions.
