Correction to ‘Serum neurofilament light chain measurements following nerve trauma’

Wilcox M, Rayner MLD, Guillemot-Legris O, Platt I, Brown H, Quick T, Phillips JB Serum neurofilament light chain measurements following nerve trauma. J Peripher Nerv Syst. 2023;28(3):500–507. doi:10.1111/jns.12576

There was an error in the analysis of serum NfL data that resulted in the values in Figure 1, Table 1 and Results being expressed incorrectly as 40-fold lower than their correct concentration. The ‘Serum NfL analysis’ section of the Methods should read ‘Serum NfL concentration was measured using the Simoa HD-X Analyser (Quanterix, Billerica, MA) with a Neurology 4-plex B kit (item number: 103345). All samples were randomised across the plates and run in duplicate. All samples measured were above the lower limit of detection (0.0962 pg/mL) with a mean coefficient of variation of 13.2% between duplicates. Intra- and inter-plate coefficients of variation, monitored using 2-4 pooled human internal control samples across each plate, were <10%’. not ‘NfL levels in serum were measured using a SIMOA® SR-X analyser (Quanterix Corporation, Massachusetts) with a SIMOA® NF-light Advantage (SR-X) Kit (Quanterix, No. 103400) according to protocols well described elsewhere (O'Brien, et al., 2021). All samples were run in duplicate and analysers were blinded to the experimental conditions. All samples measured above the lower limit of detection (0.038 pg/mL) with a mean coefficient of variation of 9.15% between duplicates. Furthermore, two control samples were run on each place with a mean coefficient of variation of 6.90%’.

New versions of Figure 1 and Table 1 have been provided. In addition, the second line of the Results section should read 20.33 ± 8.98 pg/mL rather than 0.50 ± 0.2 pg/mL. The third line of the Discussion section should read 20 pg/mL rather than 0.50 pg/mL.

We apologise for this error.
