To correct an error in the Results section of the original article regarding height measurements in transgender youth, which is crucial for accurate interpretation of growth patterns.
Key Findings:
All trans girls, except 1, had last recorded heights within ±2 SD for cis boys, indicating similar growth patterns.
Six trans girls (11%) had last recorded heights above +2 SD compared to cis girls, suggesting some may exceed typical growth expectations.
95% of trans boys had last recorded heights within ±2 SD for cis girls, indicating comparable growth trajectories.
48% of trans boys had last recorded heights below −2 SD for cis boys, raising concerns about growth outcomes.
Interpretation:
The correction clarifies the height data, emphasizing last recorded heights rather than adult heights, which may impact the understanding of growth patterns in transgender youth.
Limitations:
The erratum does not address any potential implications of the corrected data on the study's conclusions, which could affect clinical understanding and future research directions.
Conclusion:
The correction is crucial for accurate interpretation of the height trajectories and final stature in the studied population, emphasizing the need for precise data reporting.
