Erratum to "reduced lung function in smokers in a lung cancer screening cohort with asbestos exposure and pleural plaques".

Abstract

The article to which this erratum refers was published in Am. J. Ind. Med 59:178–185 (2016) (10.1002/ajim.22571). The authors regret to report an error on page 4, right hand column, line 10 (mean 69.4 rather than 76.4). The correct paragraph is as below: A sub-analysis was performed of the association between the presence of isolated pleural plaques and pulmonary function in individuals with asbestos exposure. Subjects with pleural plaques detected on LDCT scan (n = 26) had a lower FVC % predicted (mean 69.4 ± 16.5% vs. 76.8 ± 15.6%, p < 0.01) than the individuals (n = 220) with no radiographic abnormalities (no emphysema, or pleural plaques) (Figure 4), with no difference in FEV1 and FEV1/FVC ratio, unadjusted.
