Reviewer:  Riccardo Marmo
Reviewer's report:
Unsolved issues
In the abstract section, the authors reported that “Patients over 65 years of age had …..  higher
30-day mortality compared with younger patients”. This statement disagrees with the results,
and it could be useful to remove or correct the sentence.
In the Results section the authors should include the subsection univariate and multivariate
analysis
In Table 6,  the Authors state that “ Diabetes mellitus (HR: 0.389, 95% Cl:0.187-0.810, p:0.012),
…  Clinical Rockall Score (HR: 0.648, 95% Cl:0.426-0.985, p:0.042)  …were found to be
independent predictors for 30-day mortality but  HR less than 1 is a protective factor, please
explain.
In the conclusion section, you should clearly report what is the optimal endoscopy time in elderly
age #65
