In the article titled “Pandemic of Vitamin D deficiency: Cardiometabolic concern or Skeletal biochemical abnormality?”, published on pages 215-21, Issue 2, Volume 23 in Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism[1], the units “pg” was incorrect as “ng” on page 2, Column 2, 45,46,47th line, under Results paragraph.
The median range “42.3” was incorrect as “51.5” on page 4, 29th line under Table 4.
The unit term “pg/ml” was missing and should read as “iPTH level (pg/ml) was” on page 6, Column 1, 42nd line.
The median range (61.5 vs 42.3) was incorrect as (68.16 vs 44.9) on page 6, Column 1, 48th line
The correct statement should be read as
| Position | Actual present now | Should be changed to |
|---|---|---|
