Correction to: Scientific Reports 10.1038/s41598-025-07376-w, published online 01 July 2025

The original version of this Article contained errors.

In Table 3, the rows for “America”, “Europe” and “Africa” were misaligned. As a result, some of the data under “Region/country” and “Case definition” were incorrect.

The original Table 3 and accompanying legend appear below.
