In the research design and methods section of the article cited above, page 454, the sentences “We used data from the Swedish Childhood Diabetes Register (SCDR), Swedish National Diabetes Register (NDR), and the Swedish National Patient Register (NPR) to identify patients (probands) born in Sweden from 1964 onward with onset of type 1 diabetes before 18 years of age. Since 1 July 1977, the SCDR has recorded new incidents of type 1 diabetes in children below the age of 15 years with high level of national coverage (96–99%) (13)” should have read, “We used data from the Swedish Pediatric Diabetes Quality Registry (SWEDIABKIDS), Swedish National Diabetes Register (NDR), and the Swedish National Patient Register (NPR) to identify patients (probands) born in Sweden from 1964 onward with onset of type 1 diabetes before 18 years of age. Since 2000, the SWEDIABKIDS has been recording data from all Swedish pediatric diabetes centers reaching 99% national coverage in 2007 (13).”
In the research design and methods section, page 454, the sentence “Type 1 diabetes was defined as having such a diagnosis in the SCDR or NDR or an ICD code in the NPR (ICD-8: 250.00–250.09; ICD-9: 250A–250X; ICD-10: E10)” should have read, “Type 1 diabetes was defined as having such a diagnosis in the SWEDIABKIDS or NDR or an ICD code in the NPR (ICD-8: 250.00–250.09; ICD-9: 250A–250X; ICD-10: E10).”
On page 459, reference 13 (Berhan Y, Waernbaum I, Lind T, Möllsten A, Dahlquist G; Swedish Childhood Diabetes Study Group. Thirty years of prospective nationwide incidence of childhood type 1 diabetes: the accelerating increase by time tends to level off in Sweden.
