Title: Endoscopic treatment for gastroesophageal varices in patients with cirrhosis: a survey
comparing between developed and developing countries
Version: 3 Date: 05 Feb 2025
Reviewer:  Pantong Davwar
Reviewer's report:
Great idea to evaluate the practice across countries considered to be developed and those not
developed. However, there are some inconsistencies in the progression of the discussion that
should  be addressed. for instance, it is not clear if the authors are interested in both esophageal
and gastric varices or just gastric varices. This is fundamental to the study and has to be made
clear . The supplementary material appeaers to incomplete since some of the data reported is not
found in the questionnaire sent. Like grading of the varices , was that based on the pictures ?
