Error in Figure/Table

In the original article, there was a mistake in Table 1| HbA1c in childhood DM patients in east China as published. There were mistakes in the calculation of percentage in lines “Proportion of HbA1c <7.5%” and “Proportion of HbA1c ≥9.0%” and in column “Resident” and “Migrant”. The corrected Table 1| HbA1c in childhood DM patients in east China appears below.
