Wallin M, Sallsten G, Lundh T, Barregard L. Low level cadmium exposure and effects on kidney function. Occup Environ Med 2014;71:848–54.
In Table 2 the lines for ON U-A1M and ON U-KIM had been shifted one step down, and values for ON U-KIM in model 3 were incorrect. In addition, the table caption was incorrect. The table below contains a corrected table caption and the correct values for ON U-KIM.
| Dependent variable | ON U-Cd µg/h β, SE (p value) | µg/L β, SE (p value) |
|---|---|---|
| ON U-KIM (ng/h) | ||
| Model 1 with U-Cd | 14, 8.6 (0.10) | 0.01, 24 (0.96) |
| Model 2 with U-Cd | 14, 8.7 (0.10) | ─0.01, 0.30 (0.97) |
| Model 3 with U-Cd | 13, 8.6 (0.13) | 0.26, 0.28 (0.35) |
Associations between biomarkers of exposure to cadmium and selected ln-transformed markers of kidney function in multiple regression models including age, sex, weight, smoking (never/ever), and pack-years.
Consequently, there were no significant associations between U-KIM and U-Cd. U-KIM should therefore not be mentioned as associated with U-Cd in the abstract, result or discussion.
Additionally, the sentence on page 853 that reads “The bias is clearly shown in table 1, where eGFR is about 10% higher than mGFR” should read “The bias is clearly shown in table 1, where mGFR is about 10% higher than eGFR”.
