Erratum

Unfortunately, after publication of the original version of this article [1], it was noticed that some author corrections were not included in the final article.

  • Within the “Methods” section, the Cockcroft-Gault equation should read as follows:

    • $$ \mathrm{CLcr}\ \left(\mathrm{mL}/ \min \right) = \left(\mathbf{140} - \mathrm{age}\right) \times \mathrm{weight}\ \left(\mathrm{kg}\right)\ /\ \left\{\mathbf{72} \times \mathrm{serum}\ \mathrm{creatinine}\ \left(\mathrm{mg}/\mathrm{dL}\right)\right\} \times \mathbf{0.85}\ \left(\mathrm{if}\ \mathrm{female}\right) $$
  • In addition Table 1 contained some formatting errors. The correct version of Table 1 is included below.
