Correction Description

In this article several values in Results and Tables 3 and 5 were incorrect. We apologize for these mistakes which, however, do not change our study conclusions. Corrected text and Tables are presented below: Results — Total alcohol consumption, wine consumption, and duration of alcohol intake were higher in both men and women with RCT than in both men and women in the control group. Excessive alcohol consumption was found to be a risk factor for the occurrence of RCT in both sexes (men: OR =3.0, CI: 1.5–6.0, p < 0.001; women: OR =3.6, CI: 1.7–7.8, p < 0.001). Massive tears were associated with a higher intake of alcohol (especially wine) than smaller lesions.We observed an association between drinking and the presence of RCT (OR = 2.0, CI: 1.4–2.9; p < 0.001) in both men (OR = 1.8, CI: 1.1–3.0; p = 0.002) and women (OR = 2.2, CI: 1.3–3.7; p = 0.003). No statistically signifi cant risks from moderate drinking were observed in men (OR = 1.4, CI: 0.81–2.5, p = 0.2) as opposed to women (OR = 1.8, CI: 1.0–3.3, p = 0.04). Signifi cant risks were found for excessive drinkers of both sexes(men: OR = 3.0, CI: 1.5–6.0, p < 0.001; women: OR = 3.6, CI: 1.7–7.8, p < 0.001).Regarding the duration of alcohol consumption, we found small but signifi cant risks for the occurrence of RCT in men (OR = 1.04, CI: 1.0–1.1, p < 0.001) but not in women (OR = 0.97, CI: 0.95–1.0, p = 0.02). (Table 3, see Supplementary data). In men there was no risk associated with moderate alcohol intake. Furthermore, in men the duration of the habit of drinking alcohol was a signifi cant risk factor for the onset of cuff rupture. (Table Presented.).
