Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

1. You report that 60% of patients experienced at least 1 peri-interventional AE of any grade. This appears high compared to prior studies (e.g., Gruber-Rouh et al etc) who reported only 10%. Please cite other relevant studies and compare your findings to those of other studies. 

2. The most clinically relevant part is the establishment of risk factors for AEs. You need to perform a logistic regression analysis to find the independent predictors of AEs.

3. You mention that "Data was analysed and plotted using RStudio 165 under R4.0.0 or IBM SPSS Statistics 25." Which part of the analysis was conducted by using SPSS package?
