Dear Reviewer,
Many thanks for your prompt response and the time spent reviewing our manuscript.
Your comments were thoroughly investigated and appropriate modifications in the text were made, as follows:
- First, we have divided Table 1 into three distinct tables based on their relationship to the outcome prognosis.
- Secondly, we have corrected the sub-numbering in Section 4.
- Finally, as for lines 334-335, we added a few lines considering the results of the studies you suggested.
Looking forward to your follow up comments.
Yours Sincerely
Dr Tsiptsios
Reviewer 3 Report
Dear authors, thank you for this comprehensive review.
Just one comment -please shorten the introduction. 50 - 60 lines would do. Especially lines 45-50 as well as sentence starting on line 33 -39 are not needed in such a paper as those are wellknown facts.
