The article by Kim YB, et al. entitled, “Factors that affect the onset of action of non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents” (Korean J Anesthesiol 2015 Oct 70(5): 500-510) contained an error in the text and author's name.

Before correction:

Page 504, Statins (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors)

Statins decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease by decreasing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels. However, statins increase muscle creatine kinase (CK) with muscle toxicity.

With long-term administration, the onset time of NMBDs is delayed and the duration of action is reduced [78,79].

The correct information is found below:

Page 504, Statins (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors)

Statins decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease by decreasing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels. However, statins increase muscle creatine kinase (CK) with muscle toxicity.

With long-term administration, the onset time of NMBDs is shortened and the duration of action is prolonged [78,79]

And the first author's name was misspelled as Yong Byum Kim. The correct spelling is Yong Beom Kim.

The authors apologize for any inconvenience this mistake may have caused.
