The authors wish to make the following corrections to this paper [1], in the context of OR and 95%CI as presented in Abstract, Table 1 and Table 2 and Results. These mistakes have been resolved. The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated. The authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused to the readers by these changes.
Corrected the OR and 95%CI in Abstract as follow, replace:
“Factors associated with O. viverrini infection were the habit of consuming unsafely prepared fish (OR = 6.33, 95%CI = 0.32–0.59), the medical history of O. viverrini examination (OR = 8.93, 95%CI = 5.15–15.47), a history of O. viverrini infection (OR = 3.64, 95%CI = 1.17–1.44), and a history of taking praziquantel (OR = 3.64, 95%CI = 1.17–1.44)”.
