PMCID: PMC4366071  PMID: 25789766

There is an error in Table 2. The value for unadjusted Right ventricle (RV) mass/BAS, gm/m2 in the BOS 0/0p is incorrect. The correct value is 30. Additionally, the value for the unadjusted ejection fraction, % BOS 0/0p is incorrect. The correct value is 64. Please see the corrected Table 2 here. The publisher apologizes for the error.

* Values are the mean ± standard deviation [95% confidence interval]. LV = left ventricle; RV = right ventricle; BSA = body surface area; EDV = end diastolic volume; ESV = end systolic volume; EF = ejection fraction; SV = stroke volume.

† Adjusted for systolic and diastolic blood pressures, heart rate, exercise level, days after double lung transplantation, use of anti-hypertensive drugs, GFR, diabetes and age.

‡ Percent difference in the adjusted mean values of the indicated variable for the BOS group compared to the group without BOS.
