There is an error in the reporting of the number of pregnancies included in this study. The original title, abstract, Table 2, Table 3, and results section of this article state that 147 pregnancies had been followed through to completion during this study. This should read 146 pregnancies instead. 2 pregnancies involved twins, leading to a total of 148 deliveries. The article’s overall results and conclusions are not affected by this reporting error. The multivariate logistic regression model included 100 babies, which is lower than the total number of deliveries reported, because subjects with missing data were excluded from multivariate logistic regression models.

The first paragraph of the results section states that 192 women were recruited into the study and that 49 women were excluded from the analysis. Among these exclusions were 20 women whose data were not included at the time of article submission, as they were still pregnant at the time the study was conducted and data analysis included completed pregnancies only. The authors clarified that the published version of this article also includes data obtained from women in this group of 20 who completed their pregnancy whilst the article was under revision, bringing the total number of pregnancies included in this study to 146.

Updated versions of Table 2 and Table 3 are provided with this notice. The total number of reported drugs in Table 2 exceeds the total number of pregnancies because some participants were prescribed more than one medication and for some participants there were changes to prescribed medication during follow-up.
