The authors would like to make changes in the Results section as follows:

  • To clarify the sentence in the discussion section: “we additionally recognize the potential confounding factor of differences in baseline Child class between both arms of the study”.

  • Figure 2: There is a typographical error in the age of the patient as it should be 57 and not 69 (born in 1953 and diagnosed in 2010).
