Abstract

This article [1] was republished on June 15, 2022 to remove Table 1. Table 1 was adapted from Table 2 in article [2], published in 2004 by Wolters Kluwer, which is not offered under a CC-BY license. Please download this article again to view the correct version. Article [2] is cited as reference 13 in article [1]. The sentence in the Introduction referencing Table 1 has therefore been updated to "It consists of six laboratory tests (see Table 2 in [13]), including white blood cell (WBC) count, hemoglobin, sodium, glucose (≤180 and >180 mg/dL), creatinine (≤1.6 and >1.6 mg/dL), and C-reactive protein. The maximum score is 13, and a score of ≤6 is suspicious of NF with a probability of 50 to 75%, whereas a score of ≤8 is strongly predictive of NF with a probability of more than 75%.".
