Reviewer’s report
Title:  Evaluation  of  ultrasound-guided  Freka-Trelumina  enteral  nutrition  tube  placement  in  the
treatment of acute pancreatitis
Version: 0 Date: 22 Aug 2019
Reviewer: Zhihui Tong
Reviewer's report:
This is a good organized and well performed study reporting the placement of ultrasound-guided Freka-
Trelumina enteral nutrition tube, which was proven to be safe and convenient. We have noticed that the
author  has  added  another  group  of  patients  which  were  managed  with  endoscope-guided  tube
placement.
We found that the success rate of tube placement, the incidence of the adverse events as well as
associated complications between two groups were similar. The findings were encouraging.
Advises:
We advise the authors to use tables to record and display the baseline data, procedure associated
indicators as well as complications of the two groups. The statistical comparison between the two
groups is needed. 
We advise an English native-speaker to help polish your language.
