Title: Optimal Endoscopy Timing in Elderly Patients Presenting with Acute Non-Variceal
Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding.
Version: 8 Date: 15 Sep 2024
Reviewer:  Riccardo Marmo
Reviewer's report:
The authors included 468 patients in the study, 260 of them were #65 years old, with acute
nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
With regard to the sample size, they refer to a baseline mortality rate equal to 13.6 % reporting
a literature considering the mortality occurred in 118 with variceal bleeding out of 194.
Please report an appropriate reference and report if the sample size is referred to the study
population or to a single group.
Include in the multivariate regression model the significantly different factors in the two groups
as reported in Table 1, particularly the single comorbidities.
In Table 6 you calculated   the independent predictors for 30-day mortality and found that Age
#65 years had an HR of 0.962 (C.I. 95% 0.326 2.841) with a p-value < 0.945.
Please consider rewriting the result and the discussion section according to this result.
