Following the publication of the original article [1], the authors reported that the text and raw data file are all correct but the data in Table 1 for one data set is displayed incorrectly. The incorrect and correct Table 1 are given below.

Incorrect Table 1:

Table 1.

Variables with significant differences between study groups as identified in nonparametric, univariable analysis. Odds ratio and 95% confidence interval calculated using univariable logistic regression. For rectal exam results, a univariable analysis of association for each type of rectal finding is included. A Fischer’s exact test, b Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test, for every increase of 1.0 × 109/L, for every increase in 5.0 g/L
