Abstract

In the initial published version of this systematic review, the authors stated: “None of the included studies reported on cerebellar hemorrhage” (last sentence below section ‘3.7. Other abnormalities’ on page 7). The authors recently found out that this statement is incorrect. In a publication by J. Walsh and colleagues [1] the number of moderate-late preterm infants with signal intensity abnormalities in the cerebellum (indicative for cerebellar hemorrhage) was mentioned in one of the tables (Table 4). The reported incidence of cerebellar hemorrhage in moderate-late preterm infants was 9/199 (4.5%). This data does not alter the overall interpretation of the results in the systematic review. The authors regret to have missed the incidence of cerebellar hemorrhage reported by J. Walsh and colleagues and want to apologise for any inconvenience caused.
