Title: Predicting the risk of early bleeding following endoscopic variceal ligation in cirrhotic
patients with computed tomography
Version: 6 Date: 13 Oct 2023
Reviewer:  Yan He
Reviewer's report:
The language of this article should be improved. Some of these mistakes are listed as follows.
In page 8, the authors said “Multivariate analysis of risk factors for early rebleeding after EVL”,
where the word “rebleeding” should be revised as “bleeding”.
In page 7, the authors said “...and total bilirubin (P = 0.050)...”, where the letter “P” should be
revised as “p”.
In page 9, the authors said “Patients with cirrhosis sometimes undergo CT scans to screen
for hepatocellular carcinoma...”, where the abbreviation “HCC” should be used to replace the
“hepatocellular carcinoma”.
In page 4, the authors said “Consecutive patients who had undergone EVL in Pusan National
University Yangsan Hospital from January 2009 to December 2018 were retrospectively
analyzed”, the time span of inclusion of the population is somewhat large, and the risk of
bleeding after EVL is also changing. So why don’t the authors use recent data?
In page 8, the authors discussed the risk factors for early bleeding after EVL, however, the
language is not generalizing.
