In the abovementioned article,1 the authors wish to correct several points related to reporting consistency, statistical terminology, and citation accuracy. These corrections do not affect the results or the conclusions of the study.
Upon a post-publication review, the authors have identified several errors in the reference citations within the article. Unfortunately, these inaccuracies were introduced by the reference management software during the final formatting stages. Following the editor’s valuable suggestions, the authors have conducted a thorough review and revision of the references.
Specifically, the following corrections are respectfully submitted for your approval:
Corrections to in-text citations:
Reference 11 was missing from the original manuscript and has now been added. Consequently, the original in-text citations for References 11, 12, and 13 should be renumbered to 12, 13, and 14, respectively.
Furthermore, the in-text citation for what is now Reference 15 was previously missing. As a result of adding this citation, the subsequent in-text citations originally numbered 16–32 should be renumbered to 15–31.
Correction to the Reference List:
Upon reexamination, the authors found that some references in the list were not relevant to the article’s content. These have been removed and replaced with more appropriate ones to ensure the accuracy and relevance of our bibliography. The revised reference list, with the updated entries, is as follows:
