A Corrigendum on
Clinicians in the Veterans Health Administration initiate gender-affirming hormone therapy in concordance with clinical guideline recommendations

By Jasuja GK, Wolfe HL, Reisman JI, Vimalananda VG, Rao SR, Blosnich JR, Livingston NA and Shipherd JC (2024). Front. Endocrinol. 15:1086158. doi: 10.3389/fendo.2024.1086158

In the published article, there was an error. A sentence in the results sub-section of the abstract did not match with a sentence in the results section 3.3 “Guideline concordance on GAHT initiation” on page 5 of the published article.

A correction has been made to the Results section in the Abstract. This sentence previously stated: “Among veterans who started feminizing GAHT with estrogen, 97.0% were guideline concordant due to no documentation of venous thromboembolism, breast cancer, stroke, or myocardial infarction.”

The corrected sentence appears below.

“Among veterans who started feminizing GAHT with estrogen, 98.6% were guideline concordant due to no documentation of venous thromboembolism, or breast cancer.”

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.
