A Corrigendum on
High Circulating Follicle-Stimulating Hormone Level Is a Potential Risk Factor for Renal Dysfunction in Post-Menopausal Women

By Li Q, Zheng D, Lin H, Zhong F, Liu J, Wu Y, Wang Z, Guan Q, Zhao M, Gao L and Zhao J (2021). Front. Endocrinol. 12:627903. doi: 10.3389/fendo.2021.627903

In the original article, there was a mistake in Supplementary Table 2D as published. The Supplementary Table 2D was used to show the association between FSH quartiles and the presence of renal dysfunction in postmenopausal women with diabetes by multivariate logistic regression. Due to our fault, the content of the table was mistakenly inserted as the total data in postmenopausal women (the correct data should be in postmenopausal women with diabetes). The corrected Supplementary Table 2D appears below. The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.

SUPPLEMENTARY TABLE 2A
www.frontiersin.org

Supplementary Table 2a Comparisons among groups according to FSH quartiles in postmenopausal women without diabetes.

SUPPLEMETARY TABLE 2B
www.frontiersin.org

Supplemetary Table 2b Multivariate stepwise logistic regression of FSH quartiles for the presence of renal dysfunction in postmenopausal women without diabetes.

SUPPLEMENTARY TABLE 2C
www.frontiersin.org

Supplementary Table 2c Comparisons among groups according to FSH quartiles in postmenopausal women with diabetes.

SUPPLEMENTARY TABLE 2D
www.frontiersin.org

Supplementary Table 2d Multivariate logistic regression of FSH quartiles for the presence of renal dysfunction in postmenopausal women with diabetes.

In the original article, there was an error. The definition of pre-menopause and peri-menopause in section of Materials and Methods was not accurate enough.

A correction has been made to Materials and Methods, Definitions of Study Outcomes, 1:

Menopausal status was determined based on responses to a self-report questionnaire regarding menstrual history or amenorrhea. Pre-menopause was defined as the presence of menses within the past 3 months. Peri-menopause was defined as the presence of menses within the past 3 months with menstrual irregularity in the year preceding the questionnaire, or 3–11 months of amenorrhea. We selected subjects with 3–11 months of amenorrhea as peri-menopause because their E2 levels were similar to those in post-menopause. Post-menopause was defined as the cessation of menstruation for a minimum of 12 months (17, 19). Renal dysfunction was defined as declined estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR<90 ml/min/1.73 m2) or CKD (eGFR<60 ml/min/1.73 m2). Dyslipidaemia was defined as follows: 1) high total cholesterol (≥ 6.22 mmol/l); 2) high triglyceride (≥1.70 mmol/l); 3) high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (≥ 4.14 mmol/l); 4) high free fatty acids (≥ 0.9 mmol/l); and 5) low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol <1.30 mmol/l) (20). Hypertension and diabetes were diagnosed based on self-reported previous diagnosis, or were defined as systolic blood pressure ≥130 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 85 mmHg for hypertension (21) and fasting plasma glucose ≥7.0 mmol/l or post-prandial 2-h plasma glucose ≥11.1 mmol/l for diabetes (we chooe the former). Never smoking or drinking was assigned a value of 0; otherwise, it was assigned a value of 1.

The authors apologize for these errors and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
