First paragraph (this article has no abstract)

The authors noticed after the publication of their article [1] an error in their abstract. Under the 'results' sub-section, it currently reads "Relative to the reference range (MAXICU 36.5°C to 37.4°C), MAXICU ≥ 39.5°C increased risk of 28-day mortality in septic patients (adjusted odds ratio 8.14, P = 0.01), but not in non-septic patients (adjusted odds ratio 0.47, P = 0.11)." This should reflect Table 4 and instead read "MAXICU ≥ 39.5°C increased risk of 28-day mortality in non-septic patients (adjusted odds ratio 8.14, P = 0.01), but not in septic patients (adjusted odds ratio 0.47, P =0.11)".
