Title:Video capsule endoscopy as the initial examination for overt obscure
gastrointestinal bleeding can efficiently identify patients who require
double-balloon enteroscopy
Version:2Date:19 June 2015
Reviewer: Masanao Nakamura
Reviewer's report:
Authors evaluated the usefulness of CE for overt OGIB. It is a very interesting
clinical situation and their results have some novelty. But they also have serious
issues for publication.
Major revisions
1. What is the definition of overt on-going OGIB? Data had many ongoing
bleeding patients. It appeared strange.
2.In general, the results of DBE are someties different from subsequent surgical
specimen. Why did authors regard DBE results as final diagnosis? once again,
please check the definition of final diagnosis.
3.Figures should include the sample of successful case with VCE and DBE.
Level of interest: An article whose findings are important to those with closely
related research interests
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: Yes, but I do not feel adequately qualified to assess the
statistics.
Declaration of competing interests:
none
