Title: Effectiveness, safety, and factors associated with the clinical success of endoscopic biliary
drainage for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma: A retrospective multicenter study
Version: 3 Date: 13 Nov 2020
Reviewer's report:
In this manuscript, the authors have retrospectively assessed effectiveness, safety, and factors
associated with clinical success of endoscopic biliary drainage for patients with hepatocellular
carcinoma (HCC) at 11 hospitals in Japan.
It is well known that biliary drainage would be helpful for obstructive jaundice and liver
dysfunction in patients with HCC.
They conclude, liver function, Child-Pugh C is an important predictor of the effectiveness of
endoscopic biliary drainage in HCC patients with liver dysfunction with or without cholangitis.
The clinical success is achieved, the prognosis gets better. It should be recommended for active
promotion of biliary drainage for HCC jaundice actively.
The authors have shown clinical benefits and references regarding biliary drainage for HCC
with jaundice.
