There was an error in the original publication [1]. The value of the term

b_{1}

of the function relating the standard measurement uncertainty,

u_{m} (x)

, to the measurement value, x, was stated as being equal to

0.109

instead of

0.0109

.

A correction has been made to Section 3, ‘Illustrative Case Study’, paragraph number 8:

The NHANES quality control data of the FPG measurements was retrieved for the same period (2005–2016). In total, 1350 QC samples had been analyzed. The weighted nonlinear least squares analysis [36] yielded the following function relating the standard measurement uncertainty

u_{m} (x)

to the measurement value, x:

u_{m} (x) = \sqrt{b_{0}^{2} + b_{1}^{2} x^{2}} = \sqrt{0.7501 + 0.00012 x^{2}}

where

b_{0} = 0.866

and

b_{1} = 0.0109

.

The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction has been approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
