In the article, “Significance of differential characteristics in infantile Kawasaki disease” in volume 49(8), page 755-765,
In the process of inputting standard deviation (SD) in Table 1, each 1,000 omitted. The units were entered incorrectly without checking the footnote of Table A1.20 in the reference article 9. The true Z value = (measured value − mean value) / original incorrect SD × 1,000 and therefore, the Z-values should be changed to 1/1,000 of the original incorrect SD, respectively in Tables 6 and 7. The original p values do not need to correct since all groups were compared with simultaneously 1,000 multiplied values.
We deeply apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused.
