Reviewer 1 Report
This is a well-written article.. The aim of the study was clearly defined. The statistical methods and the structure of the study have been planned correctly. The results were described in a proper manner. The discussion was presented very well .The cited publications are well adjusted.
it is useful to write conclusions in a separate section. It is acceptable after minor revision
