Association Between Severe Hypoglycemia and Cardiovascular Disease Risk in Japanese Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

1. On page 2, in the right column, under the heading “Study Participants”, first paragraph, the seventh and eighth sentences read, “Finally, we excluded 2661 patients who did not have an observation at 6 months before the first claim for a glucose lowering agent prescription. Patients with <6 months of claim data were assigned an index date of 6 months after the first claim data.” They have been corrected to read, “Finally, we excluded 2661 patients who did not have 6 months of baseline observation data. Patients with <6 months of claim data before the first claim for a glucose‐lowering agent prescription were assigned an index date of 6 months after their first claim data.” The author regrets the error.
