Erratum

In their discussion section, the author��s state;

A literature review of four previous studies showed a combination of some methodological limitations in all of them: short-term analyses[21,24]; intermediate outcome measures[21,23]; a model based entirely on secondary sources[22]; or a biased sensitivity analysis[23].

As the author of reference 23, I would like to point out that our paper did not contain a sensitivity analysis. The author��s accusation of bias cannot be true and should be corrected.
