Erratum: Correction to Author Contributions and Funding in Thyroid Dysfunction Study

Overview

This erratum addresses errors in author contribution notes and funding attribution in the original article on subclinical thyroid dysfunction and cardiovascular risk factors. Specifically, it corrects the equal contribution designation and clarifies funding acknowledgment.

Background

The original article investigated links between subclinical thyroid dysfunction and cardiovascular risk factors across age and gender. Accurate attribution of author contributions and funding sources is essential for transparency and academic integrity. This erratum corrects the author note to include an additional equal contributor and refines the funding statement for clarity.

Data Highlights

No numerical data are presented in this erratum; it focuses on corrections to author and funding information.

Key Findings

• Martin Feller was initially omitted from the 'contributed equally' author note and has now been correctly included.
• An asterisk indicating equal contribution has been added next to Martin Feller's name in the author list.
• The Funding section originally included parentheses around the initials 'N.R.' which have been removed for clarity.
• The corrected funding statement now reads: 'This work was supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) grant number 32003B_200606 to N.R.'
• The article has been updated online to reflect these corrections.

Clinical Implications

While this erratum does not impact clinical findings, it underscores the importance of precise author and funding disclosures in research publications. Clinicians and researchers should refer to the corrected article for accurate attribution and acknowledgment.

Conclusion

The corrections ensure proper recognition of author contributions and accurate funding information, maintaining the integrity of the original research publication.
