Error in Figure/Table
In the original article [1], there was a mistake in Figure 1 as published. In this figure, two years are missing (2000 and 2001). The AAPC values as previously published are correct. The corrected Figure 1 appears below.
Figure 1.
Time trends in incidence of patients aged 0–24 years with thyroid carcinoma in The Netherlands, 1990–2019. Abbreviations: AAPC, Average Annual Percent Change; CI, Confidence Interval. Three-year moving averages of the age-standardized incidence rate of thyroid carcinoma (standardized according to the World Standard Population) are shown. AAPC was estimated from a regression line, which was fitted to the natural logarithm of the rates using the year of diagnosis as a regressor variable.
In addition, in the original article, there was a mistake in Figure 2A–C as published. In these figures, two years are missing (2000 and 2001). The AAPC values were correct and do not require adjustment. The corrected Figure 2A–C appears below.
Figure 2.
Time trends in incidence of patients aged 0–24 years with thyroid carcinoma by histology and age in The Netherlands, 1990–2019. (A) Papillary thyroid carcinoma. (B) Follicular thyroid carcinoma. (C) Medullary thyroid carcinoma. Abbreviations: AAPC, Average Annual Percent Change; CI, Confidence Interval. Three-year moving averages of the age-specific incidence rate of thyroid carcinoma are shown. The incidence rates of the patients 0–9 and 0–17 years are age-standardized according to the World Standard Population. AAPC was estimated from a regression line, which was fitted to the natural logarithm of the rates using year of diagnosis as a regressor variable. * Estimation of a reliable average annual percentage change was not possible because of n = 0 in >5 incidence years.
The authors apologize for any inconvenience caused and state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. The original article has been updated.
