Correction to: Scientific Reports 10.1038/s41598-017-11906-6, published online 18 September 2017

This Article contains typographical errors in the first column of Table 3, titled ‘ACR cut-off, mg/mmol (µg/mg)’, where references were inadvertently inserted in place of text. The correct Table 3 appears below as Table 1.

Table 1.

Sensitivity and specificity of ACR for predicting DR.
