N2 - Please note the following corrections for the above article published in the March 2013 issue of JASN. We thank Drs. Schoder, Canaud, Apel, and Bowry for bringing to our attention an inaccuracy in calculating the number needed to treat (NNT) in our previous publication.1 As they indicated to us, we based our calculation on an example given in the publication by Altman and Andersen2 that used mortality instead of survival rates in the equation to derive the NNT, where the outcome is time-to-an event.Therefore, applying the correct formula, the NNT (95% confidence interval) estimates are still significant but with a smaller magnitude. Thus, the NNT figures that should have been included in our publication for 1-, 2-, and 3-year survival are 33.21 (21.15 to 124.63), 15.14 (9.5 to 57.88), and 10.48 (6.47 to 40.95) instead of 9.75 (5.03 to 47.41), 7.67 (4.32 to 33.57), and 7.67 (4.51 to 31.83), respectively.We are very grateful to Drs. Schoder and colleagues for bringing this inaccuracy to our attention.Therefore, applying the correct formula, the NNT (95% confidence interval) estimates are still significant but with a smaller magnitude.
