The original version of this paper unfortunately contains errors, the fourth sentence of the second paragraph in the results section incorrectly reads as:

“The most prevalent comorbidities were hypertension (62.0 %), hypercholesterolemia (34.4 %), arthritis (31.1 %), diabetes (27.0 %), airways diseases (26.2 %), gastrointestinal disorders (22.0 %) and coronary artery disease (17.9 %).”

Where it should have read as:

“The most prevalent comorbidities were hypertension (58.4 %), hypercholesterolemia (32.5 %), arthritis (29.4 %), diabetes (25.5 %), airways diseases (24.6 %), gastrointestinal disorders (22.0 %) and coronary artery disease (16.9 %).”
