Main comment
The title of this paper has been appropriately changed to ``Incidental detection of upper
gastrointestinal epithelial neoplasia by screening endoscopy prior to endoscopic ultrasonography
in patients with pancreaticobiliary disease,'' and the content has been improved to include logical
development that does not contradict the title and easy-to-understand text. .
Detailed comments
#Comparison between EUS group and MCC group. Propensity score matching was used to
properly compare the two groups, and the differences were examined.
#The Helicobacter pylori infection rate and eradication rate have only been investigated to the
extent that current data is available, but mucosal atrophy was used as a proxy for appropriate
consideration.
#During the observation period, whether the patients had undergone EGD for the first time or
multiple times was investigated and the ratio was examined, and the results showed that there
were a large number of patients in the first-time EGD group.
#The difference in scope used between the EUS group and the MCC group was also mentioned,
and its low impact on the results was demonstrated.
As mentioned above, the problem has been appropriately resolved in this article, even in the
details.
