On page 338, Table 1 was referenced in error under the heading “Patient categories with a particularly high FYRHD”. The incorrect sentence read as “The ten combinations of indicator diseases, age, and sex with the highest FYRDH among individuals of Danish origin, as well as the ten indicator diseases with the highest FYRHD among individuals of African origin, are shown in Table 1.”
The correct sentence should read “The ten combinations of indicator diseases, age, and sex with the highest FYRHD among individuals of Danish origin, as well as the ten indicator diseases with the highest FYRHD among individuals of African origin, are shown in Table 2.”
