Correction to: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-81635-0, published online 28 December 2024

The original version of this Article contained an error. In the Materials and methods section, under the subheading ‘Study population’, and in the Ethics Declarations, under the subheading ‘Ethics approval and consent to participate’, the approval number of the Ethics Committee was incorrect.

As a result,

“The ethics committee of Rafsanjan University of Medical Sciences (IR.RUMS.REC.1401.252) approved this study.”

now reads:

“The ethics committee of Rafsanjan University of Medical Sciences (IR.RUMS.REC.1402.043) approved this study.”

The original Article has been corrected.
