Correction to: Scientific Reports, 10.1038/s41598-020-60042-1, Published on 20 February 2020

The Article contains errors in Table 4 where the reported results for the “Mild Group (low risk)” and “Severe Group (high risk)” are incorrect.

The results for the Mild Group (low risk) should read Male 178 (85.6%), Female 30 (14.4%) and Smoking history (SMK) 163 (78.4%).

The results for the Severe Group (high risk) should read Male 163 (80.7%), Female 39 (19.3%) and Smoking history (SMK) 136 (67.3%).

The correct Table 4 appears below as Table 1.
