The original article [1] contains a major error whereby a main Table is omitted. Thus, new Table 3 (shown ahead) should be considered as Table 3 in the original article. All citations in the text to tables are with these changes are correct.

¹ Two validated QoL questionnaires with very large difference between outcomes

² Predominantly NMIBC patients, scores not specific for MIBC population

³ Small number of patients

⁴ Large difference in populations hence diverging scores

⁵ Use of different QoL scales

⁶ Only one study representing metastatic population, no studies representing neoadjuvant population

⁷ Mixed BC population, selected population [34]

⁸ Compliance 47-77%, thereby introducing selection bias

⁹ QoL questionnaires designed for prostate population

¹⁰ As estimated by funnel plot
