Title: Transjugular liver biopsy: enlarge the indications for liver biopsy with reliable diagnostic
quality
Version: 0 Date: 18 Jun 2023
Reviewer's report:
This manuscript intended to compare the complication and specimen quality between
percutaneous liver biopsy (PLB) and transjugular liver biopsy (TJLB) patients to assess the
safety and efficacy of TJLB. However, several comments are given to this paper.
1. The abstract requires modifications, such as the clinical value and clinical implications of
the study.
1# by controlling confounding factors through propensity score matching (PSM).
2# Coagulation index and ascites were not considered as matching factors.
3# with excellent diagnostic quality.
2. The Complication rates of TJLB and PLB were the most important issue in the clinical
practice. This should be more detail and clear (Complication rates  of TJLB and PLB were 3.3%
(1/30) and 5.6% (152/2711), with no statistical difference.).
3. English writing should be improved.
1) In technical details, the success rate of TJLB was 100%.
2) the pathological diagnosis can be largely met.
3) which was equivalent to the rate reported in the previous literature
4. Please add the references for these sentence.
1) But a tissue length of #15 mm and 6 CPTs are sufficient for pathological diagnosis.
