Correction to: Health-Related Quality-of-Life Outcomes of Very Preterm or Very Low Birth Weight Adults: Evidence From an Individual Participant Data Meta-Analysis (PharmacoEconomics, (2023), 41, 1, (93-105), 10.1007/s40273-022-01201-2)

In Table 1 of this article, the column header “NZ-VLBW (New Zealand)” was incorrectly placed above the column titled “SF-6D at 19 years” but should have been placed above the columns titled “SF-6D at 22-23 years” and “SF-6D at 26-30 years”. Consequently, the column header “NTNU (Norway)” should have been placed above the columns titled “SF-6D at 19 years” and “SF-6D at 23 years”. The old incorrect and the correct versions of Table 1 are given below.
