Title: The Role of Endoscopy and Findings in COVID-19 patients, an early North American
Cohort
Version: 1 Date: 01 Apr 2021
Reviewer's report:
1992 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 at 36 medical centers in the USA and Canada were
collected to explore the role of endoscopy in this patient population, It turned out that only
24 (1.2%) underwent 27 endoscopic procedures despite a high prevalence of gastrointestinal
manifestations. According this paper, my comments are as follows:
1.The indications of endoscopy need to be discussed. Endoscopy does not have to operate until
serious symptoms appear, such as overt bleeding, because the symptoms caused by some viruses
are asymptomatic and easy to be ignored, such as peptic ulcers. So, from my point of view, the
research results cannot achieve the aim of the research.
2.Compared with the many other similar research, the results of this study do not have much
advantage.
