The original version of this article was published with an error in Table 2. The data in the last two columns (Rate per 1000 children and Rate per 1000 child-years) was transposed and displayed under the incorrect heading. Please find the corrected version of the table below.

Table 2. Seasonal incidence rates of laboratory-confirmed and ICD-10 coded respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) associated hospitalisations among children aged less than 5 years, by year, sub-region, age group, sex, socio-economic status (SES) and ethnicity in Auckland, New Zealand, 2012–2015

a Incidence rates were calculated using two definitions; (1) calculating the number of singular RSV-associated ARI hospitalisations (events) divided by the number of children residing in the study area during a season; and (2) dividing the number of events by time at risk during each surveillance period measured as child-years.

b Rate for SES and ethnicity presented in the table are unadjusted. Adjusted rate ratios are provided in the text.

c SES (socioeconomic status) quantified into quintiles using a small area-level measure of household deprivation derived from the national census (NZDep2013).
