Correction to: J Gastroenterol https://doi.org/10.1007/s00535-018-1483-x

The authors would like to correct the errors in the publication of the original article. The correction details are given below for your reading.

The first sentence in the “Discussion” section should be “The present case–control study with a large number of patients demonstrated: (i) the risk of peptic ulcers and upper GI bleeding increased by prescribing NSAIDs and/or antithrombotic agents, and the odds ratios with these drugs ranged from 1.31–2.38, which was increased by concurrent use of these drugs; and (ii) prescribing corticosteroids and bisphosphonates, lifestyle-related diseases, and smoking also increased the risk of peptic ulcers and upper GI bleeding.”.

In addition, the Tables 2 and 3 were published incorrectly. The corrected Tables 2 and 3 are given in the following pages.

Table 2 Odds ratios for the risk of peptic ulcers for each prescribed high-risk drug and lifestyle-related disease

Table 3 Odds ratios for upper gastrointestinal bleeding for each high-risk drug and lifestyle-related disease
