This should be 1.9%.</p><p>In the fourth paragraph, the second sentence originally read “10.6% (95% CI 9.8-11.5) at 55 years from diagnosis.” This should read “10.9% (95% CI 10.0-11.8) at 55 years from diagnosis.”</p><p>In the fourth paragraph, the fourth sentence originally read “(11.1%, 95% CI 9.5-12.7)”. This should read “(11.1%, 95% CI 9.6-12.8)”.</p><p>In the fourth paragraph, the fifth sentence originally read “5.5% (95% CI 4.3-6.8), from infections reached 1.0% (95% CI 0.7-1.3)”. This should read “5.5% (95% CI 4.3-6.9), from infections reached 0.5 (95% CI 0.3-0.8)”.</p><p>In the fifth paragraph, the second sentence originally read (Figure 5A,B, <i>P</i> = .0034 and <i>P</i> = .0008, respectively). This should read (Figure 5A,B, <i>P</i> = .0032 and <i>P</i> = .0007, respectively).</p><p>In the fifth paragraph, the third sentence originally read “Deaths from infections dropped steadily over the observation period (Figure S1A, P &lt; .0001); the low mortality from infections before 1960 may reflect poorer survival, or varying diagnostic practices.” should be removed.</p><p>In the fifth paragraph, the last sentence originally read “(Figure S1B, P = .2463).” This should read (Figure S1B, <i>P</i> = .1763).</p><p>In the seventh paragraph, the fourth sentence originally read “0.84 (95% CI 0.53-1.34). This should read 0.82 (95% CI 0.51-1.30).”</p><p><b>Discussion</b></p><p>In the eighth paragraph, the first sentence originally read “We also saw a steady drop in deaths from infections, possibly related to changes in treatment—less radiotherapy,³⁵ better management of asplenia³⁶ for the primary malignancy, and improved supportive therapies, and deserving of further study” This should read “Deaths due to infections dropped over the time of observation, possibly related to evolving therapies.”^35,36</p><p>Following the changes reported above, Figures 3–5 were changed.</p><p>The corrected Figures 3-5 are shown below.</p><p>In Table 2, the overall number of deaths, <i>N</i> = 9166, remains unchanged, while the causes of death did change. This resulted in 256 fewer infections as cause of death and correspondingly 256 more other causes. There was an increase of 191 more deaths classified as caused by primary neoplasm and 18 more deaths from secondary neoplasm. Other causes of death had minor changes.
