TLDR The document corrects errors in a table about hair loss in women.

The document corrects an error in Table 2B of the original paper, which examined the correlation between the adopted Sinclair scale (a-Sinclair) and quantitative trichoscopic factors in female pattern hair loss (FPHL). The corrected table provides updated correlation coefficients (rs-values) and p-values for various hair characteristics, such as hair diameter, vellus hair rate (VH%), indeterminate hair rate (IH%), terminal hair rate (TH%), and hair density. Significant correlations (p < 0.05) are highlighted, showing relationships between these factors and different stages of FPHL. The authors apologize for the initial error.
