- Abstract
This document is a correction notice for an article titled "Accelerated weight gain, prematurity, and the risk of childhood obesity: A meta-analysis and systematic review." The authors identified errors in Figure 3 and the use of the term "impact" throughout the article, which have been corrected. Some concerns were raised about possible biases in the statistical analyses, and the authors provide additional information about the covariates/confounders that were adjusted and reported in each original study selected. The authors address concerns about the lack of sensitivity analyses and provide additional information on the results. They caution readers to interpret the conclusion with caution due to the influence of one study in the meta-analysis comparing preterm and term infants. The authors also clarify that the meta-analysis on preterm small for gestational age (SGA) infants and childhood obesity remained robust even after excluding a specific study. They explain the criteria used for childhood obesity in the meta-analysis and state that the corrections and clarifications support the original findings and conclusions of the study.
