Erratum to: “The impact of age on survival and excess mortality after autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients”

The published article¹ by mistake failed to list the author Liesbeth C. de Wreede, who as a statistician made essential contributions to the work by evaluating the age-dependent excess mortality in the patient population. She also helped to design the study, analyzed the data in comparison to the age-related mortality of a normal population and wrote/ corrected the manuscript.

Her name has been added to the list of authors and her affiliation is now correctly listed as: ⁴⁰Department of Biomedical Data Sciences, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, the Netherlands.
