In the above-named article by Ezeh U, Chen IY-D, Chen Y-H, and Azziz R, published 8 May 2020 (J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2020;105(7):e2408–e2420; doi: 10.1210/clinem/dgaa235), the following errors occurred in the published paper: “Table 3 reported results for PCOS (n = 18) and PCOS (n = 18) instead of PCOS (n = 18) and Control (n = 18). Additionally, on page e2412, left column (lines 9 to 11,) there was an error in the data provided in the statement “Despite lack of significant difference in mean BMI between the PCOS and control groups (37.2 ± 1.9 vs 29.5 ± 1.5; P = 0.101), respectively, after the matching ….” The correct data for difference in mean BMI between the PCOS and control groups are in Table 1: (33.7 ± 1.9 vs. 29.5 ± 1.5; P = 0.101).”
To correct the error in Table 3, the table has been reproduced below:
