Bansal N, Hyre Anderson A, Yang W, Christenson RH, deFilippi CR, Deo R, Dries DL, Go AS, He J, Kusek JW, Lash JP, Raj D, Rosas S, Wolf M, Zhang X, Shlipak MG, Feldman HI: High-sensitivity troponin T and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and risk of incident heart failure in patients with CKD: The Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) Study. J Am Soc Nephrol 26: 946–956, 2015.
Please note the following correction in the above article published in the April 2015 issue of JASN. In the article, the authors found that the units of high-sensitivity troponin T (hsTnT; ng/ml) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP; ng/ml) in Figure 1 and in the abstract are incorrect, and the hsTnT histogram included some inconsistency with the assay (hsTnT levels ranged from ≤5.0 to 378.7 pg/ml, and NT-proBNP levels ranged from ≤5 to 35,000 pg/ml).
Revised versions of both panels of Figure 1 (now with corrected units) and the correct hsTnT histogram are printed below.
Figure 1.
Distributions of cardiac biomarkers among participants without HF in the CRIC Study. (A) Distribution of hsTnT (pg/ml). (B) Distribution of NT-proBNP (pg/ml).
The following corrections should be made in the abstract. In the sentence that begins, “At baseline, hsTnT levels ranged...,” the upper boundary of the range for hsTnT should be 738.7 instead of 378.7 pg/ml. In the sentence that begins, “Compared with those who had undetectable hsTnT...,” the units attached to >26.5 should be pg/ml rather than ng/ml. In the sentence that begins, “Similarly, compared with those in the lowest NT-proBNP quintile...,” the units attached to <47.6 and >433.0 should be pg/ml rather than ng/ml.
