Correction to: Obesity Surgery (2019) 29:3246–3251
Due to human error, the authors neglected to multiply the rate by 100 in order to get the percentage; therefore, the published percentage for penetration rate was out by a factor of 100.
The correct percentage is included in the paragraph below.
This penetration rate of 0.17% is particularly low compared with other published penetration rates, for example, 1.24% in the USA (where the eligible population was defined as adults with BMI ≥ 40) [15] and 0.54% in Canada in 2017 (where the eligible population was defined as adults with BMI ≥ 35) [16].
