Abstract

© The Author(s), under exclusive licence to European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry 2025. Correction to: European Archives of Paediatric Dentistry (2022) 23:23–38 https://doi.org/10.1007/s40368-021-00646-x Some odds ratios and two figures were incorrectly transferred from the supplementary material to the abstract and the text. The figure at the bottom of page 25 of the supplementary material has also been modified. These changes do not alter the interpretation of the results and do not affect the conclusions of the publication. The correct text including the corrected odds ratios is presented below: Perinatal factors: Prematurity (OR = 1.59; 95% CI 1.25–2.04; p = 0.0002) and caesarean delivery (OR = 1.13; 95% CI 1.01,1.28; p = 0.04) are associated with an increased risk of developing MIH. Birth complications are also highlighted. These three factors can lead to hypoxia, and children with perinatal hypoxia are more likely to develop MIH (OR = 2.59; 95% CI 1.69–3.98; p < 0.0001). Following the exclusion of these studies, hypoxia at birth (OR = 2.59; 95% CI 1.69–3.98; p < 0.0001; Fig. 4), caesarean (OR = 1.13; 95% CI 1.01,1.28; p = 0.04; Fig. 5) and prematurity (OR = 1.59; 95% CI 1.25–2.04; p = 0.0002; Fig. 6) were associated with MIH (Table 2). (Figure presented.) (Figure presented.) Meta-analysis (forest plot and funnel plot) for caesarean Meta-analysis (forest plot and funnel plot) for prematurity After excluding outlying studies that severely increased heterogeneity, factors such as gastric disorders (OR = 1.99; 95% CI 1.37–2.88; p = 0.0003), fever (OR = 1.44; 95% CI 1.19–1.75; p = 0.0002), kidney diseases (OR = 2.70; 95% CI 1.07–6.82; p = 0.04), pneumonia (OR = 1.49; 95% CI 1.15–1.94; p = 0.03), asthma (OR = 1.56; 95% CI 1.10–2.20; p = 0.01) and antibiotic use (OR = 1.20; 95% CI 1.01–1.44; p = 0.04) were also found to be associated with MIH (Tables 2, 3). It was finally determined that prematurity is associated with MIH (It was finally determined that prematurity is associated with MIH (OR = 1.45; 95% CI 1.24–1.70; p = 0.0002). Additionally, Table 3, Figs. 5 and 6 and the bottom figure in Supplementary materials p25 are replaced and included in the present correction as supplementary material. Finally, in the publication ‘Lygidakis NA, Garot E, Somani C, Taylor GD, Rouas P, Wong FSL. Best clinical practice guidance for clinicians dealing with children presenting with molar-incisor-hypomineralisation (MIH): an updated European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry policy document. Eur Arch Paediatr Dent. 2022;23(1):3–21, the following odds ratios were affected and the correct ones are presented below, again not affecting the results interpretation and Conclusions: Few of the above-mentioned discrepancies affect also minimally the publication ‘Lygidakis NA, Garot E, Somani C, et al.
