Endoscopic Procedures in Egypt: A Nationwide Multicenter Study
Version: 2 Date: 03 Feb 2024
Reviewer's report:
Thank you for submitting your manuscript. After an in-depth review, I believe that your work
has not the potential to be published and should be revised.
• The word “Gastrointestinal” should be added to the title.
• Abstract should be revised in all parts to be more specific; esp. the conclusion and background.
• Method: Please write about the exact inclusion and exclusion criteria. Reference ranges of the
laboratory tests should be added.
• First paragraph of the Results should be revised in case of being clearer.
• Table 2 should be divided to Lower and Upper Egypt areas; the same figure as colonoscopy
findings would be good.
• Based on Table 1, why you did not consider the Family history and Past medical history for
patients underwent EGD.
• Tables should be revised; e.g., you repeated Hematochezia in Table 3 twice. Also, the caption
of the them also should be rewritten in term of clarity.
• The numbers (percentages and frequencies) should be consistent in tables and text. There are
some conflicts.
• As H.pylori testing is common in GI endoscopic examination, bring the data if it is done and
if not, please add it to limitation.
• Add a paragraph about the limitations of your work.
• The manuscript should be revised by a native English speaker. Instead of using complex words,
pay more attention to the clarity of the text.
• References should be updated and be more relevant.
