Title: Location of ERCP Impacts Fluoroscopy Time: A Multi-Institutional Retrospective Study
at Tertiary Academic Centers
Version: 1 Date: 20 Jun 2024
Reviewer's report:
The manuscript presents a well-conducted multi-institutional retrospective study examining the
impact of ERCP location on fluoroscopy time (FT). While the study lacks significant novelty
and originality, as the relationship between ERCP procedures and fluoroscopy time has been
explored in previous studies, it compensates with a robust dataset drawn from multiple tertiary
academic centers. The large sample size and the inclusion of diverse procedural settings provide
a valuable contribution to the existing literature.
Minor points
1. Based on the findings, the authors have a crucial role in proposing concrete strategies
for minimizing fluoroscopy time. These could include standardizing protocols, training and
education, technological improvements, and workflow optimization. By taking the lead in this,
the authors can significantly enhance the impact of their research.
2. The manuscript currently contains a limited number of references, which may not adequately
cover the breadth of existing research in this area. To strengthen the literature review and provide
a comprehensive background, the authors should consider including additional references.
