Abstract

Sumiyoshi T, Uchida H, Watanabe K, et al. Neuropsychiatr Dis Treat. 2022;18:2507–2517. The authors have advised there are errors in the text and Table 1 on page 2512 of the published paper. Table 1 Pearson Correlation Coefficients Between WPAI Subscale Scores and PDQ-D-5 Total Scores Validity of the PDQ-D-5 by Comparison with Other Measures section, fourth sentence, the text “PDQ-D-5 scores showed a moderate correlation with the presenteeism (rmcorr, 0.56, p < 0.0001), overall work impairment (rmcorr, 0.58, p < 0.0001), and impairment of general activity (rmcorr, 0.63, p < 0.0001) subscale scores on WPAI, while the correlation with absenteeism scores was weak (rmcorr, 0.21, p < 0.004) (Table 1)” should read “PDQ-D-5 scores showed a moderate correlation with the presenteeism (rmcorr, 0.51, p < 0.0001), overall work impairment (rmcorr, 0.51, p < 0.0001), and impairment of general activity (rmcorr, 0.54, p < 0.0001) subscale scores on WPAI, while the correlation with absenteeism scores was weak (rmcorr, −0.04, p = 0.31) (Table 1)”. The correct Table 1 is as follows. The authors confirm that they do not believe that the modifications detailed above affect the interpretation of the results and consider them to be numerical in nature only. The authors apologize for these errors.
