Correction

Following the publication of our article [1] we noticed an error within Additional file 2: Comparison of patient baseline characteristics by condition. The column headings 'Control' and 'Intervention' are incorrectly positioned in the table and should be switched.

The table should therefore appear as shown in Table 1 in this correction.
