When the above article was first published online the text contained errors.
In Table 2, the crude incidence rate ratio (IRR) of ischemic stroke (IS) (1.89 [1.49–2.41]) and haemorrhagic stroke (HS) (1.53 [1.13–2.07]) were incorrect. The correct IRRs are 1.01 [0.63–1.61] for IS, 1.65 [0.88–3.09] for HS. In addition to this, in the Methods section, the ATC codes for diabetes mellitus (DM) and atrial fibrillation (AF) were incorrectly listed. The correct sentence is as follows: B01A, B01E, B01F, C01A1, C01B, and C08A for AF; A10C, A10H, A10J, A10K, A10L, A10M, A10N, A10S, and A10P for DM.
The text and Table 2 have been corrected in both the print and online versions.
