Testosterone and mood dysfunction in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome compared to subfertile controls

Testosterone and mood dysfunction in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome compared to subfertile controls, Journal of Psychosomatic Obstetrics & Gynecology, June 2011; 32(2): 104–111.

An error in the above paper has been brought to our attention by the authors in the above-mentioned paper. The first line of Table I was incorrectly printed as 2.10 (10.20–5.80). The first value in the range should read “0.20” instead of “10.20”.

The corrected table appears below.

Table I.  Descriptive statistics (means or medians, and SDs or range) and between groups tests (t-tests, Mann–Whitney, or Chi Square) values for the PCOS and subfertile control group.

*p < 0.001;**p < 0.05. Significance values are 2-tailed.

^†For total testosterone the sample size was 65 PCOS and 38 controls.

^‡Mann–Whitney U test.

^§Independent groups t-test.

^¶Chi Square.

^††Ethnicity was not identified for 12 of the PCOS and 3 of the control participants.
