In the original article [1], five co-authors - Song Gao, De-Yu Zhang, Chuan Liu, Ting-Ting Gong, and Qi-Jun Wu - are all erroneously affiliated to affiliation #4 in the original article ("Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, The Fourth Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University, Shenyang, China").

Affiliation #4 for each of the above-named authors should instead replaced by a new affiliation #13 with the following details as also demonstrated in the authorship of this correction article: "Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University, Shenyang, China"

Affiliation #4 itself remains correct and affiliated solely to co-author, Xue-Li Bai.
