The authors have identified an error in the manuscript. The units for the DALY rates used in the cost estimates (Table 4) were incorrect. The authors have validated the correct units from the GBD collaborators and wish to correct them from ‘per 1000’ to ‘per 100,000’. This affects the magnitude of the economic estimates but does not alter the conclusions reached by the authors.
The article has been corrected as follows:
