Unfortunately, some of the information and numerical values in the abstract of this study were presented incorrectly. In the third paragraph of the abstract, the second sentence should have appeared as follows: “The cumulative effect per °C increase was 0.79% below and 0.88% above a threshold (21.3°C) after a winter with low cardiovascular and respiratory mortality, but modified with -0.29% below and -0.04% above the threshold after a winter with high cardiovascular and respiratory mortality.” The authors apologise for this error.
