Title:Differences in Bleeding Behavior after Endoscopic Band Ligation: A
Retrospective Analysis
Version: 2Date:10 September 2009
Reviewer: alexander L gerbes
Reviewer's report:
The ms has greatly improved and the authors have reponded to almost all
concerns.
A terminology issue in my opinion still needs attention:
with a maximum interval of 17 days to rebleeding I still feel that the term
"bleeding from reciurrent varices" is inappropriate and should be "rebleeding
other than from ligation site".
Level of interest: An article of importance in its field
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a
statistician.
