Scientific Reports 7: Article number: 46025; 10.1038/srep46025 published online: April 06 2017; updated: July 27 2017.
The original version of this Article contained errors. In the Abstract,
“The patients in the community-acquired SBP (n = 311) and the nosocomial SBP (n = 264) groups exhibited significant differences in clinical symptoms (P < 0.01)”.
now reads:
“The patients in the community-acquired SBP (n = 264) and the nosocomial SBP (n = 311) groups exhibited significant differences in clinical symptoms (P < 0.01)”.
In the Results section, under subheading ‘Basic patient information’,
“Patients were divided into either nosocomial (n = 264) or community-acquired groups (n = 311) according to the type of infection”.
now reads:
“Patients were divided into either nosocomial (n = 311) or community-acquired groups (n = 264) according to the type of infection”.
As a result, the values of the columns ‘Community-acquired (n, %)’ and ‘Nosocomial (n, %)’ in Table 2 were incorrect.
