Association Between Serious Psychological Distress and Loneliness During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Cross-Sectional Study with Pregnant Japanese Women [Corrigendum]

Abstract

Takeda T, Yoshimi K, Kai S, Inoue F. Int J Womens Health. 2021;13:1087–1093. The authors have advised that they mistakenly compared the data with that of postpartum mothers instead of pregnant women in the Discussion section on page 1091. Second paragraph, second sentence, the text “The proportion of women with a K6 score ≥ 10 in our survey was 37.7%, which is significantly higher than that in the large-scale 2020 survey (13.9%, n = 2977; p < 0.0001, Pearson’s chi-square test, Cramer’s V = 0.26);” should read “The proportion of women with a K6 score ≥ 10 in our survey was 37.7%, which is significantly higher than that in the large-scale 2020 survey (13.2%, n = 4798; p < 0.0001, Pearson’s chi-square test, Cramer’s V = 0.25);”. The authors apologize for this error and advise it does not affect the results of the paper. Read the original article
