In the published article, there was an error in Table 2 as published. The term “Median OS” were incorrectly used. The correct term should be “Mean OS,” as the statistical analysis was based on mean values. The corrected Table 2 and its caption appear below.

Long-term OS outcomes before and after propensity score matching.

In the published article, there was an error in Table 3 as published. The term “Median RFS” were incorrectly used. The correct term should be “Mean RFS,” as the statistical analysis was based on mean values. The corrected Table 3 and its caption appear below.

Long-term RFS outcomes before and after propensity score matching.

AYA, adolescents and young adult; OA, older adult; RFS, recurrence-free survival; CI, confidence interval; PSM, propensity score match; ***p < 0.001.

In the published article, there was an error. The terms “median OS” and “median RFS” were incorrectly used in the original article. The correct terms should be “mean OS” and “mean RFS,” as the statistical analysis was based on mean values.

A correction has been made to Abstract, Results, line 8. This section previously stated:

“median OS”

The corrected term appears below:

“mean OS”

A correction has been made to Comparisons of prognostic outcomes, the first paragraph, lines 6 and 17. This section previously stated:

“median OS”

The corrected term appears below:
