Abstract

When performing an additional follow up of our cohort study [1], [2] we discovered two errors. First, Table 1 and Table 2 included 44,584 patients who were eligible for the study but did not fulfil all criteria for the analysis. However, for the final analysis only 39,184 persons and 63,214 CT examinations were included. Tables 1 and 2 with the numbers of persons included in the analysis are given below. Secondly, we found one case of lymphoma which was wrongly included twice in the analysis as the child was The online version of the original article can be found under treated in three hospitals. The total number of cases that (Table Presented.) should be correctly included in the analysis is 38 (not 39), the corresponding number of lymphoma is 10 (not 11). Consequently the estimates for “all cancer” and “lymphoma” changed slightly, whereas results for leukaemia, CNS, and other solid tumours are not altered (new tables are given below). Accordingly the numbers in Tables 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 changed and the number of person years slightly decreased from 161,407.41 to 161,406.65. Additionally we would like to correct the name of one author. It should be J. Schlick and not I. Schlick (Table Presented.).
