Title: Portal Vein Thrombosis and Esophageal-Gastric Variceal Bleeding in Cirrhosis: Shared
Risk Factors and Causal Relationship
Version: 0 Date: 25 Mar 2025
Reviewer's report:
In this article, the researchers explored the common risk factors and causal links between portal
vein thrombosis (PVT) and esophagogastric variceal bleeding (EVB) among liver cirrhosis
patients. After looking back at data from 1,223 liver cirrhosis patients, they ultimately included
247 patients for a 10-year follow-up study.The purpose of this study is well-defined, with a
sufficient number of cases included and adequate follow-up duration. However, patient mortality
is a competing risk for the occurrence of PVT and EVB in liver cirrhosis, which should be taken
into account in the statistics. There are several factors that weren't included in the article, such
as the baseline degree of esophageal varices and treatment after esophageal variceal bleeding.
Therefore, it's suggested to add more data.
