In the original published version of this article, the Tables 1, 2, 3, 4 should be corrected. In Table 1, the total number of subjects after weighting was incorrect. Although the data from all subjects (5270 in the ULT group and 146896 in the Control group) was used, the mathematically correct number of subjects after weighting was 4472 for both groups.

In Tables 2, 3, 4, the units of incidence rate were not stated and we have added the units "Weighted incidence rate per 1000 person-years".

The corrected tables are shown as follows:

Table 1 Baseline characteristics of each group before and after overlap weighting

Table 2 Association between ULT and cardiovascular events after overlap weighting in intention-to-treat analysis with complete cases

Table 3 Sensitivity analysis with various sUA cutoff points on index date and on follow-up date

Table 4 Subgroup analysis investigating the interaction between ULT and other variables on the primary outcome

The original article has been corrected.
