Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding.
Version: 14 Date: 13 Nov 2024
Reviewer:  Panagiotis Tsibouris
Reviewer's report:
Abstract Because the aim of the study was not to compare old and young patients with UGI
bleeding all irrelevant data should be removed and expand the part about risk factors of
rebleeding ! Methods What was the institutional strategy for patients with UGI bleeding admited
during working hours? After all the majority of cases take place between 8 am and 6 pm
Definitions for all risk factors recorded should be provided For insance significant lung disease
or IHD Definition of hypotension should be also provided Was there any diffrence in hospital
policy for resuscitation of patients with severe heart failure Was rate of bleeding taken into
consideration for CT angiography? In which case did authors performe  exloratory laparotomy
with concurrent pan-small bowel endoscopy? Was no neighbouring hospitals provide capsule
endoscopy? Results I am not sure that describingbleeding in patients older than 65 is relevant
to the study question
