Following publication of the original article [1], the authors identified the following errors in the article:

1. The color in Fig. 1 was incorrectly marked and has been updated in this correction article.

2. In Table 4, the platelet variables (PLT) in the penultimate line should be in the last line.

Fig. 1.

Trajectory of PLT counts after induction chemotherapy over time. Each trajectory is represented by a different color. group1: low-stability group, group2: low-level decrease-medium elevation group, group3: low-level decrease-high level elevation group, group4: high-level decrease-medium elevation group
