This letter responds to Wang et al's recent publication on endoscopic biliary stenting for malignant obstructive jaundice (MOJ) by offering constructive feedback and suggestions for future research. We commend the authors for their comprehensive study design and execution, which included a clear delineation of study groups and a robust set of outcome measures. We suggest that future studies incorporate additional biomarkers, such as serum levels of liver enzymes and bilirubin, to provide a more nuanced understanding of liver function changes post-intervention. The study's focus on short-term survival rates is appreciated, but we recommend exploring longer-term follow-up periods to capture the full spectrum of survival outcomes. Additionally, the inclusion of quality of life assessments using validated instruments could offer a more holistic view of patient outcomes. From a critical care perspective, we advocate for the integration of advanced imaging techniques to better characterize biliary anatomy and potentially predict treatment response or complications. We believe that incorporating these suggestions could enhance the understanding of endoscopic biliary stenting's role in MOJ management and its impact on patient outcomes, influencing future clinical guidelines and practice.
