Correction to: J Gastroenterol (2019) 54:42–52 10.1007/s00535-018-1482-y
The authors would like to correct in the publication of the original article. The correction details are given below for your reading.
The second sentence in the second paragraph under the heading “SMRs” on page 46 should be “SMRs were especially high for small intestinal cancer at 200 (95% CI 34.6–806.7), CRC at 29.7 (95% CI 16.5–53.7), and brain tumor at 12.5 (95% CI 1.8–88.7)”. The fourth sentence in the second paragraph under the “SMRs” on page 46–47 should be “However, high SMRs were not observed for many conditions, such as respiratory disease (1.4; 95% CI 0.4–5.7), cardiovascular disease (1.3; 95% CI 0.4–3.9), suicide (1.2; 95% CI 0.4–3.6), and traffic injuries (0.7; 95% CI 0.1–5.1)”.
In addition, the Table 3 was published with error. The corrected Table 3 is given in the following page.
