Post-Publication Correction

Posted by averoniki on 15 Sep 2021 at 15:34 GMT

We have come across a discrepancy in our published paper, and the following wording in the abstract, discussion, and conclusion sections should be corrected.

Abstract
The sentence: “However, zidovudine administered with lamivudine and indinavir was associated with increased risk of preterm births, zidovudine administered with nevirapine was associated with increased risk of stillbirths, and lamivudine administered with stavudine and efavirenz was associated withincreased risk of low birth weight.”

Should be corrected to: “Zidovudine administered with nevirapine was associated with a reduced risk of stillbirths. However, zidovudine administered with lamivudine and indinavir was associated with increased risk of preterm births, and lamivudine administered with stavudine and efavirenz was associated with increased risk of low birth weight.”

Discussion
The sentence: “However, a combination of zidovudine, lamivudine, and indinavir was associated with increased risk of preterm births, a combination of zidovudine and nevirapine was associated with increased risk of stillbirths, and a combination of lamivudine, stavudine
and efavirenz was associated with increased risk of low birth weight.”

Should be corrected to: “The combination of zidovudine and nevirapine was associated with reduced risk of stillbirths. However, the combination of zidovudine, lamivudine, and indinavir was associated with increased risk of preterm births, and the combination of lamivudine, stavudine
and efavirenz was associated with increased risk of low birth weight.”


Conclusions
The sentence: “However, zidovudine administered with lamivudine and indinavir was associated with increased risk of preterm births, zidovudine administeredwith nevirapine was associated with increased risk of stillbirths, and lamivudine administered
with stavudine and efavirenz was associated with increased risk of low birth weight”

Should be corrected to: “Zidovudine administered with nevirapine was associated with a reduced risk of stillbirths. However, zidovudine administered with lamivudine and indinavir was associated with increased risk of preterm births, and lamivudine administered with stavudine and efavirenz was associated with increased risk of low birth weight”
