Correction: Correlation analysis of BMD in different regions of the vertebrae determined by QCT and DXA on pedicle screw loosening
In the original article, the data for age and BMI were not normally distributed.The method used originally for these variables was not suitable as it could only be used for normally distributed data.Subsequently, the analysis for these parameters was redone using the Mann-Whitney U test and grouping age into 10-year intervals with a Rank-Sum test.As a result, the information given in Table 1 was updated.Additionally, the Statistical Analysis section, "The Mann-Whitney U test was used for those not following normal distribution (A-vBMD, B-vBMD)".now reads: "Age was not normally distributed, and Rank-Sum test was used after grouping at 10-year intervals.The Mann-Whitney U test was used for those not following normal distribution (BMI, A-vBMD, B-vBMD)".
