Correction

Following the publication of this article [1], the authors noticed that they incorrectly reported the Absolute risk of ischemic stroke in women aged 20 to 44 years in relation to the use of hormonal contraception and migraine status due to a miscalculation. They apologize for this misreported result.

The correct version of Table 4 has been included in this correction.
Table 4

(Revised) Absolute risk of ischemic stroke in women aged 20 to 44 years in relation to the use of hormonal contraception and migraine status

 

No migraine

Migraine with aura

Migraine without aura

Without hormonal contraception

2.5/100,000

5.9/100,000

4.0/100,000

With hormonal contraception

6.3/100,000

14.5/100,000

10.0/100,000

Considering women with migraine with aura, the risk of ischemic stroke in those young women who do not use HC is 5.9/100,000 per year whereas the same risk among those young women who use HC is 14.5 /100,000 per year

Considering women with migraine without aura, the risk of ischemic stroke in those young women who do not use HC is 4.0/100,000 per year whereas the same risk among those young women who use HC is 10.0/100,000 per year
