Correction: Belimumab is not associated with COVID-19 mRNA vaccination failure in systemic lupus erythematosus

PMCID: PMC11514241  PMID: 37369547

This is a correction to: Simone Cosima Boedecker-Lips and others, Belimumab is not associated with COVID-19 mRNA vaccination failure in systemic lupus erythematosus, Rheumatology, Volume 62, Issue 3, March 2023, Pages e34–e35, https://doi.org/10.1093/rheumatology/keac459

In the originally published version of this manuscript, in Table 1, the first line under “vaccine type” should begin “AstraZeneca” instead of the value “10(11%)”. The value “10(11%) should be placed under column “BEL, n=88”. The value from the “overall” column was also missing (“12 (8.2%”). Table 1 should read:

Table 1.

SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, number of vaccinations, intervals between vaccinations, and anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody levels

Vaccination Overall, n = 147 BEL, n = 88 no BEL, n = 59 P-value
Vaccine type 0.2
 AstraZeneca 12 (8.2%) 10 (11%) 2 (3.4%)
 Biontech 116 (79%) 66 (75%) 50 (85%)
 Moderna 19 (13%) 12 (14%) 7 (12%)
No. of vaccinations >0.9
 2 5 (10%) 3 (10%) 2 (10%)
 3 43 (86%) 26 (87%) 17 (85%)
Days between 1st and 2nd shot 42 (33, 56) 41 (36, 50) 42 (31, 61) 0.7
Anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG after second shot (AU/ml) 812 (130, 5358) 265 (91, 5410) 3382 (1152, 5061) 0.078
Days between 2nd and 3rd shot 194 (168, 215) 196 (182, 220) 186 (158, 214) 0.4
Anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG after third shot (AU/ml) 3405 (1386, 11 032) 2657 (906, 5382) 6258 (3010, 12 858) 0.12

Days and antibody levels are given as medians with interquartile ranges. Statistical significance between the BEL and no-BEL groups was assessed by Wilcoxon rank sum exact test.
