Title: Clinical value of using double balloon enteroscopy combined with endoscopic ultrasound
to evaluate Crohn’s disease of the small bowel: a retrospective study
Version: 0 Date: 11 Jan 2025
Reviewer's report:
The manuscript offers valuable insights into diagnosing small bowel Crohn’s disease but
requires revisions to address specific weaknesses. The authors should improve the discussion,
acknowledge the study's limitations, and enhance data presentation. With these changes, the
manuscript has the potential for significant clinical impact.
Abstract: Clarify the specific advantages of the proposed method over other imaging techniques
in the "Results" section.
Introduction: Provide more background on the challenges of diagnosing small bowel Crohn's
disease with existing modalities.
Methods: Expand on the training of the physician performing the procedures to emphasize
consistency and accuracy.
Results: Include confidence intervals for key measurements (e.g., bowel wall thickness).
Discussion: Elaborate on the potential for endoscopic ultrasound to guide therapeutic decisions,
such as identifying candidates for biologic therapy.
Figures and Tables: Add graphical representations to improve data visualization.
