N2 - The authors regret that they discovered errors in the formulas provided in their original article. The basic error is in Eq. (5) where the right side should be under the log (or equivalently, the left side under the exp), that is how we present below Eq. (5). Eqs. (6) and (8) are corrected accordingly. Below is a list of all corrections for the affected formulas. The authors would like to point out that these are the only changes and the rest of the text and the equations remain unchanged. The intercept, b1, can be represented by the following function of time:(5)expb1=β1expβ2t−1 The probability of death of the people who had zero deficits at baseline (Table 2, the last column) is shown in Fig. 4 overlaid with the following function:(6)P0dt=expb11+expb1=β1expβ2t−11+β1expβ2t−1 where β1 = 0.07 and β2 = 0.13 as estimated from fitting (6) using the data from the last column in Table 2.
