Erratum: “A Prospective Study of Growth and Biomarkers of Exposure to Aflatoxin and Fumonisin during Early Childhood in Tanzania”

About This Article open Final Publication: 1 February 2015 PDF Version (48 KB) After Advance Publication of “A Prospective Study of Growth and Biomarkers of Exposure to Aflatoxin and Fumonisin during Early Childhood in Tanzania” (Environ Health Perspect 123:173–178; http://dx.doi.org/10.1289/ehp.1408097), Shirima et al. discovered errors in the models used for analyses of the joint effects of aflatoxin and fumonisin. After they ran the corrected joint-effects models, it became clear that the data were not sufficient to produce interpretable results. Therefore, the authors removed the joint-effects analyses from their manuscript, including information in the Abstract, “Materials and Methods,” and “Results.” Table 5 was also removed, but the main effects of aflatoxins have been added to the “Results.” In addition, Yu-Kang Tu, a biostatistician, was added as a coauthor. The authors regret the errors.
