The above paper should be modified as follows:
The original version of this article unfortunately contains a mistake. The corrected details are given below.
1. On page 1093, under heading Results, in the fifth paragraph the following sentences
“For men alone, the overall increase was 12.1 times (14.3 times for those 20–49 years of age and 9.5 for those 50–74 years of age). For women, no significant results were obtained (Table 4).”
should read as
“For men, the overall increase was 12.1 times (14.3 times for those 20–49 years of age and 9.5 for those 50–74 years of age) and for women, 16.1 (30.1 times for those 20–49) and no suicide deaths were observed in those 50–74 years of age (Table 4).”
2. Table 4 is incorrect with regards to the confidence intervals for women 20–74 and 20–49 years of age and is presented with correct confidence intervals below.
(corrected) SMR for suicide stratified for different sex and age categories presented with a 95% confidence interval
| SMR 95% [CI] | SMR 95% [CI] | SMR 95% [CI] | |
| Age group | 20–74 years old | 20–49 years old | 50–74 years old |
| Men and women | 15.1* [8.7 to 21.6] | 19.3* [9.8 to 28.7] | 9.6* [1.2–18.0] |
| Men | 12.1* [6.5 to 17.7] | 14.3* [6.5 to 22.0] | 9.5* [1.2–17.8] |
| Women | 16.1* [6.5–33.5] | 30.1* [12.2–62.6] | ** |
Note: Swedish individuals with gambling disorder compared to the Swedish general population in 2016. CI: confidence interval, SMR: standardized mortality ratio. *Significant result. **No documented suicides in this category.
We apologize for the mistake.
