In this article, Reference Kim, Han and Ji1 Figure 1 depicts antibiotic consumption rates from the last year of life, whereas the article’s intended and primary analysis focuses on data from the last month of life. The data analysis and conclusions presented in the text of the article are based on the correct data (antibiotic consumption rates from the last month of life), but the published figure does not accurately reflect this. A corrected version of Figure 1 is included in this corrigendum. The new figure accurately reflects the data from the last month of life, as discussed in the article. The authors apologize for the error.
