Sarcina C, Tinelli C, Ferrario F, Pani A, De Silvestri A, Scaini P, Del Vecchio L, Alberghini E, Buzzi L, Baragetti I, Pozzi C. Changes in proteinuria and side effects of corticosteroids alone or in combination with azathioprine at different stages of IgA nephropathy. Clin J Am Soc Nephrol 11: , 2016.

Due to author error, Table 2 contains several incorrect values. The corrected values are bolded below:

Model 1: model with interaction between proteinuria at baseline and treatment; model 2: model with interaction between eGRF at baseline and treatment. Results are expressed as coefficient with their 95% confidence interval (95% CI); the coefficient represents the mean variation of outcomes for unit difference of quantitative predictors or between levels of categorical or ordinal predictors. CS, corticosteroids; CS+A: corticosteroids plus azathioprine; RAS, renin-angiotensin system; TAp, time-average proteinuria. NP, not possible for collinearity and empty strata.
