Abstract

Lyu J, Guan X, Zhou Y, Guo H, Cheng S, Wang C. Risk prediction of hepatobiliary and pancreatic cancers in elderly Chinese: The Dongfeng-Tongji cohort. J Evid Based Med. 2023; 16:39-49.

1. In Supplementary Figure l, the unit in “Diagnosis of pancreatic or hepatobiliary cancer in < 3 or > 70 weeks of follow-up” was incorrect. The unit “weeks” should be changed to “months.”

2. In the second last paragraph of the Results section, the text “and even lower for PC (0.21%, 95% CI (0.13%, 0.28%)) and PPV (67.63%, 95% CI (67.19%, 68.07%) specificity, Table 3)” should be modified to “and even lower for PC (0.21% (0.13-0.28%) PPV and 67.63% (67.19-68.07%) specificity, Table 3).”

3. In the second paragraph of the Discussion section, three numbers of AUC were incorrect. The number 0.828 on line 6 should be 0.818. The number 0.862 on line 12 should be 0.843. The number 0.890 on line 13 should be 0.873.

We apologize for these errors, which were introduced unintentionally during the revision (1 and 3) and the production process (2). The correction does not change any results and conclusions of the article.
