Erratum to: Eur J Epidemiol DOI 10.1007/s10654-016-0180-4

The authors of the article “Bridging the etiologic and prognostic outlooks in individualized assessment of absolute risk of an illness: application in lung cancer” which appears in this issue of the Journal have sent the following erratum.

The antepenultimate sentence of the Abstract should read as follows:

“The models entailed a minimal degree of overfitting (‘shrinkage’ factor: 0.97 for both unweighted and weighted models) and moderately high discriminating ability (c-statistic: 0.82 for the unweighted model and 0.89 for the weighted model)”.

The last sentence of the second paragraph of the Results section should read as follows:

“The fitted regression models were characterized by a moderately high discriminating ability (cross-validated c-statistic: 0.82 for the unweighted model and 0.89 for the weighted model)”.

The authors regret the error.
