In the original article, there was an error in the Discussion section, paragraph ten. “We learned that thyroid damage after HSCT is multifactorial and has a direct impact on rates of cGvHD.” was inaccurately worded resulting in a false representation of the intended message. The corrected paragraph appears below.
“In conclusion, in the long-term follow-up of paediatric patients with ALL after HSCT with TBI-based conditioning, we found a high incidence of both functional and structural thyroid disorders, with incidence increasing over time. We learned that thyroid damage after HSCT is multifactorial and it is without a direct impact of cGvHD. However, we found a significant correlation between humoral immune dysregulation and the development of thyroid dysfunction. Therefore, we suggest adding the evaluation of humoral immune dysfunction to the regular thyroid follow-up of patients post HSCT, including laboratory tests and ultrasound examination of the thyroid gland. The early implementation of hormonal replacement therapy as a strategy to prevent thyroid adenoma and carcinoma after paediatric HSCT needs to be proven in a prospective, multicentre study.”
The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
