Correction: Investigating risk factors for under-five mortality in an HIV hyper-endemic area of rural South Africa, from 2000–2014.

This document is a correction notice for an article titled "Investigating risk factors for under-five mortality in an HIV hyper-endemic area of rural South Africa, from 2000–2014." The corresponding author identified errors in the data analysis, which resulted in an underestimation of person time at risk and an overestimation of mortality rates. After rerunning the models with corrected data, the effect size for hazard ratios remained largely unchanged. The corrected analysis revealed that child mortality rates decreased by approximately 81% from 2000 to 2014. Significant risk factors for under-five mortality included low wealth index, source of household drinking water, and having an HIV positive mother. The document also includes corrected tables and figures reflecting the updated analysis. [Extracted from the article]
