Correction to: Consumption of soft drinks and juices and risk of liver and biliary tract cancers in a European cohort (European Journal of Nutrition, (2016), 55, 1, (7-20), 10.1007/s00394-014-0818-5)

Abstract

In the original version of this article, a small typing error has been identified in the Abstract and Results sections wherein the number of cases for a sub-group analysis was incorrectly indicated as n = 101 while the correct number is in fact 151. In the abstract, third sentence of the result sections which previously read In sub-group analyses available for 91% of the cohort artificially sweetened soft drinks increased HCC risk by 6% per 1 serving increment (HR 1.06, 95% CI 1.03–1.09, ncases = 101); for sugar-sweetened soft drinks, this association was null (HR 1.00, 95% CI 0.95–1.06; ncases = 127, pheterogeneity = 0.07). should have read In sub-group analyses available for 91% of the cohort artificially sweetened soft drinks increased HCC risk by 6% per 1 serving increment (HR 1.06, 95% CI 1.03–1.09, ncases = 151); for sugar-sweetened soft drinks, this association was null (HR 1.00, 95% CI 0.95–1.06; ncases = 127, pheterogeneity = 0.07). In the result sections, under the sub section ‘’Soft drink intake and the risk of HCC’’, first sentence which previously read In additional analyses by the type of drinks (sugar-sweetened vs. artificially sweetened), each additional serving of artificially sweetened soft drink was positively associated with HCC risk (HR 1.06, 95% CI 1.03–1.09, ncases = 101), while for sugar-sweetened soft drinks, this association was null (HR 1.00, 95% CI 0.95–1.06, ncases = 127). should have read In additional analyses by the type of drinks (sugar-sweetened vs. artificially sweetened), each additional serving of artificially-sweetened soft drink was positively associated with HCC risk (HR = 1.06, 95% CI: 1.03–1.09, ncases = 151), while for sugar-sweetened soft drinks, this association was null (HR 1.00, 95% CI 0.95–1.06, ncases = 127).
