We acknowledge that in the published work [1], text in 
multiple sections of the article overlaps with our previous 
publication, Tang et  al. 2014 BMJ Open [2]. We would 
like to further clarify the relationship between these 
manuscripts. In 2013, we had collected and analyzed the 
data from general population to estimate the diagnos-
tic performance of short-term heart rate variability for 
cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy by using Bayes-
ian approaches, these data were published in BMJ Open 
article [2]. In 2014, we collected and analyzed the data 
from diabetic patients to estimate the performance of 
diabetic cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy by using 
similar Bayesian approaches, these data were included 
in the manuscript published in Diabetology & Metabolic 
Syndrome [1]. We would like to clarify that we consider 
that the aims, dataset, outcomes, and highlights of the 
two papers are different and both results are very impor-
tant for clinicians. We apologize for any inconvenience 
caused.
