In Table 4, the Variable order “LDH (U/l)”, “IL6 (pg/ml)” and “CRP (mg/l)” were incorrectly given as “CRP(mg/l)”, “LDH(U/l)” and “IL6(pg/ml)” respectively. The correct and incorrect Variable order appears below.

Furthermore in Table 5, the Variable order “LDH (U/l)”, “IL6 (pg/ml)” and “CRP (mg/l)” was incorrectly given as “CRP(mg/l)”, “LDH(U/l)” and “IL6(pg/ml)” respectively. The “Post (n=15), 95% CI of mean/median” value for the Variable “CRP (mg/l)” was incorrect. The correct and incorrect Variable order and corresponding values appear below.
