In the original publication, under Abstract, in Results section, the sentence “Exploratory analysis …. binder.” should read as:

“Exploratory analysis revealed that there were relationships between CTR and age, sex, body mass index, comorbidity of CVD, dialysis duration and intact parathyroid hormone, phosphorus, hemoglobin, and usage of phosphate binder”.

Under Results, in Exploratory analysis investigating the relationship between CTR and covariates section the sentence Multivariable regression …. binder (Table 4).” should read as:

“Multivariable regression analysis showed that there were relationships between CTR and age, sex, BMI, comorbidity of CVD, dialysis duration and level of iPTH, phosphorus, hemoglobin, and usage of phosphate binder (Table 4)”.

In Table 4, one row (Diabetes mellitus comorbidity) was duplicated and a row (Dialysis duration) was not included. The corrected Table 4 is given in this Erratum.
