Abstract

The authors regret that in this article typing errors occurred that they want to correct. In table 1, the Total N for the Subramanian study should be 384,137 instead of 86,157. This error occurred due to entering a wrong number in the Table. The percentage for long COVID for the Subramanian study should therefore be 9.3%, not 41.4%. Consequently, in the second paragraph of the results section, the number of COVID-19 patients per study ranged from 72 to 384,137, with 41,249 of the total 444,211 (9.3%) suffering from long COVID. In the 6<sup>th</sup> paragraph of the results section, there should be ‘insomnia 11·6% (95% CI 3%–33%; five studies); irritability 30·2% (95% CI 2%–89%; one study).’ In the 7<sup>th</sup> paragraph of the results section, there should be ‘at 12 months follow-up, the prevalence of all mental health conditions and brain fog taken together was 27·2% (95% CI 23%–32%; 9 studies).’ In the eighth paragraph, there should be ‘by moderator analyses, the prevalence was higher in nonhospitalised patients (29·7%; 95% CI 21·2%-39·9%; nine studies vs (17·5%, 95% CI 11·2%-26·1%; seven studies: p < ·05). Similarly, in the abstract findings section, there should be ‘being lower among those previously hospitalised than in community-managed patients (17.5 vs 29·7% respectively; p = 0·047).’ This correction does not affect the findings or conclusions of the study. The authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.
