Title: Risk factors for portal hypertensive gastropathy
Version: 3 Date: 22 Jun 2022
Reviewer's report:
Thank you for the manuscript entitled “Risk factors of portal hypertension gastropathy.” I found
it very interesting and clear. Here are my comments:
1. The grading of severity of PHG has an important role on this study as you mentioned in
Discussion that the diagnose often fluctuates. How many physicians made decisions on the
grading of the same patient? How long did the physicians work on the endoscopy or hepatology?
When the grading of the same patient had inter-observer difference, what the grading would
see as?
2. The first paragraph of Results, especially a few sentences of the end of it, is hard to understand.
Please rewrite it.
3. In Discussion and Conclusion, you mentioned “relieving the degree of varices may reduce
the occurrence/severity of PHG.” Is there any theory that might support this idea other than the
result of this paper?
4. There are some typos: as in 31th or Spearmamn.
