• Description:
  The authors regret to inform that the coding for fetal sex was incorrect, such that results observed among female fetuses are actually representative of results in male fetuses, and vice versa. This error affects:1) Highlights; Statements regarding male/female associations are reversed; 2) Table 1: N (%) for female and male are reversed; 3) Results describing associations among males and females separately (paragraphs 5-8) are reversed; 4) Associations presented in Table 4 and in Figure 1 are for males and females separately and are reversed; 5) Discussion sentences describe sex differences in comparison to other studies inaccurately; 6) Conclusion sentences are reversed for male vs. female: "For males, 2,4 and 2,5-DCP were associated with lower weight, parabens and benzophenone-3 were associated with lower abdominal circumference, and triclosan was suggestively associated with lower weight and placental weight. For females, detection of bisphenol-S in maternal urine was associated with lower weight, and suggestively associated with lower abdominal circumference and femur length."; 7) Supplemental Tables 1 and 2 present concentrations of maternal urinary phenol concentrations by fetal sex, which are reversed; 8) Supplemental Table 4 presents associations between phenols and placental weight as well as fetal length by fetal sex, which are reversed.The authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.
