There are errors in the Funding statement. The correct Funding statement is as follows: This study was sponsored by the EuroQol Research Foundation (EQ project 2016440), Center for Drug Evaluation (#10542652), the Ministry of Science and Technology, Taiwan (NSC102-2320-B-039-007) and the National Health Research Institute, Taiwan (Grant NHRI-EX103-10318PC, NHRI-EX104-10318PC, NHRI-EX105-10318PC, and NHRI-EX106-10318PC) in the course of the preparation and implementation stage of this project. These sponsoring agencies had no role in the study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish or preparation of the manuscript.
There are errors in the Competing Interests statement. The correct Competing Interests statement is as follows: Although the listed 5th author (Dr. Churn-Shiouh Gau) and 7th author (Dr. A. Simon Pickard) acted as executive directors of the two major sponsoring agencies of this project (i.e., Center for Drug Evaluation, Taiwan, and EuroQol Research Foundation, respectively) when this study was carried out, these two and other co-authors declared no competing interests with these two sponsoring agencies, nor with the publication in PLOS ONE. This does not alter our adherence to PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
