Reviewer 3 Report

 

The manuscript is well studied and a few minor corrections below will help to improve the quality of the manuscript.

  1. The text is generally well written and comprehensive to the readers. however, each section has too many short paragraphs, I would recommend to merge some of those paragraphs.
  2. The authors did not used sufficient references. Add and include recent literature references.
  3. Concentrate the graphical representation of all figures in a pleasing way to attract the readers.
My additional comments:   Discuss in detail about diagnostic and treatment strategy which is used by south korea is more useful.
