Sheppard, Constantinos Koshiaris, Richard Stevens, Sarah Lay-Flurrie, Amitava Banerjee, Brandon K. Bellows, Andrew Clegg, F. D. Richard Hobbs, Rupert A. Payne, Subhashisa Swain, Juliet A. Usher-Smith, Richard J. McManus  \nIt has come to the attention of the authors that some outcomes, related to fall events, were not included in the original analysis dataset, due to an error during data management. This has now been corrected, and the analysis re-run resulting in the corrections listed below. Furthermore, the original published manuscript described outcomes as an event associated with hospitalisation or death. However, deaths that were not preceded by a hospitalisation, were not included in the analysis. Finally, Table 1 presents the number (%) of males in the cohort, not females, as described in the original published manuscript.  \nIn the Methods and findings subsection of the Abstract, there is an error in the fourth sentence of the paragraph. The correct sentence is: The primary outcome was hospitalisation within 10 years from falls.  \nIn the Methods and findings subsection of the Abstract, there is an error in the 10th sentence. The correct sentence is: Antihypertensives were associated with an increased risk of hospitalisation from falls (adjusted Hazard Ratio [aHR] 1. 10, 95% Confidence Interval 1.08–1. 12), hypotension (aHR 1.32, 95% CI 1.29–1.35), syncope (aHR 1.20, 95% CI 1.17–1.22), AKI (aHR 1.44, 95% CI 1.41–1.47), electrolyte abnormalities (aHR 1.45, 95% CI 1.43–1.48) and primary care attendance with gout (aHR 1.35, 95% CI 1.32–1.37) .  \nIn the Methods and findings subsection of the Abstract, there is an error in the 12th sentence. The correct sentence is: In older patients (80–89 years) and those with severe frailty, this absolute risk was increased, with 38 and 39 fall events per 10,000 patients treated per year (respectively) .  \nIn the What Did the Researchers Do and Find subsection of the Author Summary, there is an error in the third and fourth bullet. The correct bullets are:  \n• In a total of 3,834,056 patients, blood pressure lowering treatment was associated with an increased risk of hospitalisation from falls, hypotension, syncope (but not fracture), acute kidney injury, electrolyte abnormalities and primary care consultations for gout.  \n• These risks were much higher in older patients and those with frailty. For example, in those aged 40–49 years 913 patients would need to be treated for 5 years to  \nPLOS Medicine | [https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.1004885](https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.1004885) January 5, 2026 1 / 8  \ncause a serious fall. However, for those aged 80–89 years, only 53 patients would need to be treated for 5 years to cause a serious fall.  \nIn the Outcomes subsection of the Methods, there is an error in the first, second and fourth sentences. The correct first sentence is: The primary outcome of this analysis was first hospitalisation with a primary diagnosis of a fall (defined according to ICD9 and ICD10 codes listed in S3 Table) .
