Erratum. Alogliptin, a Dipeptidyl Peptidase 4 Inhibitor, Prevents the Progression of Carotid Atherosclerosis in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: The Study of Preventive Effects of Alogliptin on Diabetic Atherosclerosis (SPEAD-A). Diabetes Care 2016;39:139–148
In the Research Design and Methods section of the above-mentioned article, the measurement of carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) was described as follows: “The software system averaged 60 points of IMT values in the segment 2 cm proximal to the dilation of the carotid bulb (mean-IMT-CCA).” The sentence should read: “The software system averaged ∼200 points of IMT values in the segment 2 cm proximal to the dilation of the carotid bulb (mean-IMT-CCA).”
The authors believe that this correction will not affect the results obtained in the study, and they regret the error.
The online version of the article has been corrected.
