Erratum

This article refers to:

The mean platelet volume in subjects with impaired fasting glucose

The publisher would like to apologize for an error that occurred in the Short Communication, “The mean platelet volume in subjects with impaired fasting glucose”, previously published in Platelets February 2006, 17(1): 67–69.

The correct Table I is below.

Table I.  Clinical and laboratory parameters in study groups.

Notes: IFG, impaired fasting glucose; BMI, body mass index; MPV, mean platelet volume.

^ap < 0.05; ^bp = 0.00 vs. control group.

^cp < 0.05 vs. impaired fasting glucose group.

^dp < 0.05, correlation between (fasting glucose and HbA1c) and MPV in diabetic and impaired fasting glucose groups.

^ep < 0.05, correlation between (fasting glucose and HbA1c) and PM in diabetic and impaired fasting glucose groups.
