There is an error in Table 2. In the second column of Table 2, the numbers of patients for the ‘low’ and ‘normal’ groups have been switched in the rows under the variable named ‘Creatinine,’. Currently there are 1791 patients with ‘low’ creatinine and 86 patients with ‘normal’ creatinine. There should instead be 86 patients with ‘low’ creatinine and 1791 patients with ‘normal’ creatinine. This corresponds with the number originally referred to in Table 1. The hazard ratios and p values remain unchanged in their assigned columns and rows. The footnote in Table 2 relating to the variable ‘creatinine’ has also been altered, to bring additional clarity to the values for male and female patients.

There is also an error in Table 3. In the second column of Table 3, in the rows under the variable named ‘Creatinine,’, the numbers of patients for the ‘low’ and ‘normal’ groups have been switched. Currently there are 1791 patients with ‘low’ creatinine and 86 patients with ‘normal’ creatinine. There should instead be 86 patients with ‘low’ creatinine and 1791 patients with ‘normal’ creatinine. This corresponds with the number originally referred to in table 1. The hazard ratios and p values remain unchanged in their assigned columns and rows.

In Tables 2 and 3, the footnotes relating to the variable ‘creatinine’ have been altered to bring additional clarity to the values for male and female patients.
