In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Table 2 as published. The correct caption for row 5 is “ADG” and the correct caption for row 6 is “ADFI”. “ADG” is also incorrectly described as “ADFI” in the presentation of Section 3.1 and in the last line of the second paragraph of the Discussion section. “ADFI” is also incorrectly described as “ADG” in the first paragraph of the Discussion section. There is also an error in the data for the CON group in the third row of Table 2, where the correct data is “0.34”. The corrected Table 2 appears below. The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
