In Table 3, the details under the ‘Variable’ column are incorrect. Under the section ‘Sarcopenia’, ‘with sarcopenia group (n = 57)’ and ‘without sarcopenia group (n = 57)’ should have been swapped.
TABLE 3.
Association of carnitine levels with sarcopenia, nutrition status, surgical outcome
| Variable | TC | FC | AC |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sarcopenia | P = 0.0124 | P = 0.0243 | P = 0.102 |
| Without sarcopenia group ( n = 57) | 63.3 (29–102.5) | 52.2 (24.8–93.5) | 11 (4.2–24.5) |
| With sarcopenia group (n = 57) | 56.6 (25.5–91.2) | 46.8 (20.6–77.2) | 9.8 (3.9–18.9) |
| Nutrition status a | P = 0.0003 | P = 0.0001 | P = 0.484 |
| Low PNI group (n = 66) | 54.3 (25.5–90.8) | 44.2 (20.6–69.5) | 10.2 (3.9–20.4) |
| High PNI group (n = 48) | 64 (38–102.5) | 53.4 (29.4–93.5) | 10.7 (4.7–19.1) |
| Surgical outcome | P = 0.997 | P = 0.872 | P = 0.411 |
| With postoperative complication (n = 37) | 59.9 (32–90.8) | 49.2 (22.8–77.2) | 10.9 (5.4–24.5) |
| Without postoperative complication (n = 77) | 59.9 (25.5–102.5) | 49.6 (20.6–93.5) | 10.2 (3.9–20.4) |
AC, acylcarnitine FC, free carnitine; PNI, prognostic nutritional index; TC, total carnitine.
