Original text: ‘‘These parameters were included in the Cox multivariate analysis, where high GDF-15 concentration was an independent prognosticator of poor OS (P = 0.01; hazard ratio = 6.59), together with response to chemotherapy at diagnosis (P G 0.001; hazard ratio = 18.95) and at first disease recurrence (P = 0.004; hazard ratio = 8.14).’’ Should have read: ‘‘These parameters were included in the Cox multivariate analysis, where high GDF-15 concentration was an independent prognosticator of poor OS (hazard ratio 1.54; 95% CI 1.01Y2.36; P = 0.045), together with response to chemotherapy at diagnosis (hazard ratio = 2.37; 95% CI 1.52Y3.70; P G 0.001) and at first disease recurrence (hazard ratio = 1.89; 95% CI 1.04Y3.41; P = 0.036).’’
