The authors would like to correct the following:

Method section - Colorectal cancer ascertainment

The incorrect sentence reads:

“Incident colorectal cancer diagnoses were identified using the International Classification of Disease (ICD) 8 and ICD 10 codes using the Danish Cancer Registry established in 1943 (until December 31, 2017)²⁴ and in the Danish National Patient Registry (January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018)²⁵ (Supplementary Information Appendix S1).”

The sentence should read:

“Incident colorectal cancer diagnoses were identified using the International Classification of Disease (ICD) 7 and ICD 10 codes using the Danish Cancer Registry established in 1943 (until December 31, 2017)²⁴ and in the Danish National Patient Registry (January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018)²⁵ (Supplementary Information Appendix S1).”

We apologise for the error.
