An error was identified in the legends of Figs. 2 and 3 in 2024 paper by Song et al. [1], titled “Mechanical versus bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement in patients aged 50 to 70 years.” And all author-affiliation numbers after each author’s name should be omitted. We would like to correct the figure legends accordingly. The revised Figs. 2 and 3 are presented below.
Fig. 2. All-cause mortality after mechanical aortic valve replacement (AVR) versus bioprosthetic AVR in the original cohort (A) and the inverse-probability-of-treatment weighting (IPTW)-adjusted cohort (B). HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval.
Fig. 3. Time-to-event curves for (A) stroke, (B) anticoagulation (AC)-related bleeding, (C) infective endocarditis, and (D) aortic valve (AV) reintervention in the inverse-probability-of-treatment weighting (IPTW)-adjusted cohorts for a comparison of mechanical and bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement (AVR). sHR, sub-distributional hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval.
We apologize for any confusion caused by this error.
