Change Details: Following publication of the original article [1], it has come to our attention that we did not appropriately convert the units for CRP from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from mg/dL to mg/L. In this study, NHANES was considered the general population cohort for this study; interestingly, the correction resulted in changes to a broader range of CRP values in NHANES from 0.01 to 18.0 mg/dL to 0.10 to 180.0 mg/L.
