Correction to: Effects of early feeding on growth velocity and overweight/obesity in a cohort of HIV unexposed South African infants and children Vundli Ramokolo1,2*, Carl Lombard3, Meera Chhagan2,4,5ˆ, Ingunn M. S. Engebretsen2, Tanya Doherty1,4, Ameena E. Goga1,7, Lars Thore Fadnes2,6, Wanga Zembe1, Debra J. Jackson4 and Jan Van den Broeck2ˆ Correction After publication of this article [1] it was brought to our attention that there were errors in the text under the heading ‘Data cleaning’, and in Table 3. The corrected text and updated Table 3 are given in this erratum. “Anthropometric measurement values and Z-scores were flagged for verification if any of the following criteria were met: WAZ < −6 or >5, WLZ < −5 or >5, LAZ < −6 or >6, WLZ > 3 and LAZ < −3; 2) extreme changes in LAZ and WLZ (greater than 2.5 or 3) between consecutive visits; 3) BMI-for-age Z-score ≥ 6. All the flagged anthropometric observations were assessed and values treated as missing if no plausible explanation was determined.”
