Publisher Correction: Effect of statins on the association between high temperature and all-cause mortality in a socioeconomically disadvantaged population: a cohort study

Correction to: Scientific Reports 10.1038/s41598-019-41109-0, published online 18 March 2019

This Article contains an error in Table 4. The p-values recorded for the ‘Daily average temperature column’ are incorrectly placed under the ‘Daily maximum temperature’ column. The correct Table 4 appears below as Table 1.

95% CI: 95% confidence interval. Daily average temperature: 24–43 °C (75–110 °F). Daily maximum temperature: 24–49 °C (75–120 °F). p-value: α = 0.05, two-tailed test. ^aCoefficient: coefficients in the logistic regression analysis. ^bTemperature squared: 2nd degree polynomial term of temperature. ^cStatin: current statin exposure status (1 = current statin user; 0 = former statin user). ^dRelative humidity: daily relative humidity.
