In the published article, there was an error in Table 4 as published. Error was in the manual transcription of the numerical data of the Kaplan-Meier result. Specifically, the transcription error has occurred for the rows of ALP, GGT and LDH. The corrected Table 4 and its caption “Kaplan-Meier and log-rank values for statistically significant hematologic parameters grouped by the optimal cut-off” appear below.
Table 4
| Variable | median survival (95%CI) (months) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| <cut-off point | ≥cut-off point | N | χ2 | p-value | |
| ALP | 12.67 (10.17-17.80) | 7.37 (5.77-10.10) | 24/72 | 8.4 | 0.004** |
| GGT | 12.30 (8.97-15.30) | 7.47 (6.07-10.10) | 31/65 | 4.7 | 0.031* |
| LDH | 12.75 (11.40-14.57) | 6.42 (4.50-8.93) | 42/54 | 9.8 | 0.002** |

Kaplan-Meier and log-rank values for statistically significant hematologic parameters grouped by the optimal cut-off.
Asterisks represent statistically significant differences. *: p<0.05; **: p<0.01.
In the published article, there was an error. The error corresponds to the paragraph in which numerical references are made to the Table 4 with the numerical transcription error.
A correction has been made to Results, Prognosis, Paragraph 3. This sentence previously stated:
“Those individuals whose values on GGT and LDH were below the cut-off point (Table 4) presented a better prognosis than the ones who were above; specifically, they presented an OS increase by 44.8%, and 74.6%, respectively (Figures 1B, C). For their part, ALP<102.00 (Figure 1A), number of leukocytes<8,000, neutrophiles<6,000 and monocytes<800 (Figures 1D–F) were also statistically significant, resulting in patients with low levels increasing their survival by 49.7%, 44.9%, 42.5% and 44.4%, respectively (Table 4).”
The corrected sentence appears below:
“Those individuals whose values on GGT and LDH were below the cut-off point (Table 4) presented a better prognosis than the ones who were above; specifically, they presented an OS increase by 39.3%, and 49.6%, respectively (Figures 1B, C). For their part, ALP<102.00 (Figure 1A), number of leukocytes<8,000, neutrophiles<6,000 and monocytes<800 (Figure 1D-F) were also statistically significant, resulting in patients with low levels increasing their survival by 41.8%, 44.9%, 42.4% and 44.3%, respectively (Table 4).”
The authors apologize for these errors and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
