Kind regards, Prof, Mojtaba Vaismoradi, PhD, MScN, BScN Academic Editor PLOS ONE Journal requirements: When submitting your revision, we need you to address these additional requirements. 1. Please ensure that your manuscript meets PLOS ONE's style requirements, including those for file naming. The PLOS ONE style templates can be found at http://www.journals.plos.org/plosone/s/file?id=wjVg/PLOSOne_formatting_sample_main_body.pdf and http://www.journals.plos.org/plosone/s/file?id=ba62/PLOSOne_formatting_sample_title_authors_affiliations.pdf 2. In ethics statement in the manuscript and in the online submission form, please provide additional information about the patient records used in your retrospective study. Specifically, please ensure that you have discussed whether all data were fully anonymized before you accessed them and/or whether the IRB or ethics committee waived the requirement for informed consent. If patients provided informed written consent to have data from their medical records used in research, please include this information. Reviewers' comments: Reviewer #1: The paper is very well written and the subject is also considerable Please also consider the following: Please mention how 9 hospitals were selected? Did you get all the hospitals in the two centers? How did you calculate the sample size needed for this study? How was the sampling done? Were patients also satisfied with the use of medical information? Reviewer #2: The structure of the manuscript is well put together, however it has some defects that listed in below: Results - Line 179: “The rate of overall omissions including various subcategories is summarised in Table 1”. Why did you report total omitted doses including, ‘preventable’ omitted doses? If it is total, what about a column for ‘non-preventable’? - Please list out your exact findings related to predictors factors and then discuss about them. I cannot find them easily in the text, as a reader. Ethical approval - Further information is needed. For instance, any permission to access inpatient prescription charts? Discussion - Line 250: “We found evidence that particular patients may be experiencing more omitted doses”. What do you mean from "particular patients"? - Discussion more about implications of findings in clinical practice.

Open letter on the publication of peer review reports
PLOS recognizes the benefits of transparency in the peer review process. Therefore, we enable the publication of all of the content of peer review and author responses alongside final, published articles. Reviewers remain anonymous, unless they choose to reveal their names.
We encourage other journals to join us in this initiative. We hope that our action inspires the community, including researchers, research funders, and research institutions, to recognize the benefits of published peer review reports for all parts of the research system.
