The values in the lines "Nighttime Behavior," "Appetite and eating disorder," and "Any symptom" under the section "Cumulative incidence (%) and incidence between two consecutive time points" are incorrect. The corresponding values within the text remain correct. Please see the corrected Table 3 here.
