In the published article, there was an error in Table 1 as published due to erroneous data entry. The reported NIHSS in the table for the male participants is 14 (10; 15) and it is 14 (8; 15) for the female, p = 0.88. The correct number for the male participants is 8 (4; 13) and for the female it is 10 (5; 15), p = 0.09. The corrected Table 1 and its caption appears below.
Table 1.
