In the Original Investigation titled “Environmental Phthalate Exposure and Preterm Birth,”1 published online November 18, 2013, and in the January 2014 issue, the Results section contained an error. The sentence, “Approximately 10% of the population used assisted-reproductive technology and 44% of infants were male, and proportions of these variables were equal among cases and control participants,” should state that 44% of infants were female. The article has been corrected online.
