Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Reviewer #1: In this manuscript, the researchers tried to explain about the Management and medical therapy of mild hypercortisolism. It is interesting work and can be accepted after revision.
- The grammar errors should be checked in the whole manuscript.
- In abstract, the first four lines should be summarized.
- In introduction, the main objective has been repeated so it should be refined.
- Some recent and relevant articles may be added as thousands of articles have been published on this topic.
- Conclusion should be refined as it is not properly written as per results.

Reviewer #1: In this manuscript, the researchers tried to explain about the Management and medical therapy of mild hypercortisolism. It is interesting work and can be accepted after revision.
- The grammar errors should be checked in the whole manuscript.
We apologize. The grammar errors have been checked and corrected throughout the manuscript
- In abstract, the first four lines should be summarized
As suggested, in the Abstract the first two sentences have been summarized (lines 16-18).
- In introduction, the main objective has been repeated so it should be refined.
We thank the reviewer for the suggestion. The Introduction has been modified as suggested (lines 53-61, 97-98). In particular, the difference between the HidHyCo condition and the mHC condition has been clarified
- Some recent and relevant articles may be added as thousands of articles have been published on this topic.
We agree. We have performed a further search and added the most significant studies that had not been previously included (lines 171-173, 253-260, 307-309, 380-382, 477-479, 505, 510-512, 544-546). Although the present review was focused on the phase 3 studies, we have also added some very recent data on possible agents that could become available in the next future
- Conclusion should be refined as it is not properly written as per results
The conclusion have been rewritten in accordance with the reviewer suggestion (lines 623-627, 634-638)
