Global, regional, and national burden of tuberculosis, 1990–2050: a systematic comparative analysis based on retrospective cross-sectional of GBD 2021 and WHO surveillance systems: Erratum

The authors of the article “Global, regional, and national burden of tuberculosis, 1990–2050: a systematic comparative analysis based on retrospective cross-sectional of GBD 2021 and WHO surveillance systems”[1] have identified decimal point annotation errors in the tuberculosis (TB)-related numerical values reported in the article. The authors confirm that these errors are purely due to an oversight in decimal point placement during manuscript preparation and do not affect the core research conclusions, methodological design, or data source validity of the study. The corrected sections are below: Under “Abstract—Results” Original text: 236.14 (95% CI 214.51–260.20) Corrected text: 23 614 (95% CI 21 451–26 020) Under “Results—Age-standardized annual rate of four basic indicators” Original text: Overall TB prevalence fell from 306.97 (95% UI 277.16–337.77) to 236.14 (95% UI 214.51–260.20). Corrected text: Overall TB prevalence fell from 30 697 (95% UI 27 716–33 777) to 23 614 (95% UI 21 451–26 020). Under “Discussion—Insights from GBD” Original text: 306.97 to 236.14 Corrected text: 30 697 to 23 614.
