The above article originally published with an error present in the 2nd sentence in the 4th paragraph of the Discussion section. Originally reading “…Ours is the first study to report the effect of socio-economic status on the incidence of systemic sclerosis; we observed no effect of socio-economic status, as estimated by area-based deprivation data which is used as a proxy for socio-economic status and social class.”, this should instead have read “…A study in Southern Australia previously found no effect of socio-economic status on the incidence of systemic sclerosis [16]. We also observed no effect of socio-economic status, as estimated by area-based deprivation data which is used as a proxy for socio-economic status and social class.”

The remainder of the article remains unchanged.
