Following publication of the original article [1], the authors would like to correct several errors in the article body.

In the Abstract, Methods section:

The first sentence should read: We conducted a cross-sectional study of RA patients from the Kyoto University Rheumatoid Arthritis Management Alliance cohort.

In the Abstract, Results:

The incorrect sentence reads:

Additionally, HAQ-DI scores ≤ 0.5 were associated with anxiety symptoms (OR [95% CI] 3.51 [1.85–6.64]; p < 0.01) and depression symptoms (OR [95% CI] 2.65 [1.56–4.50]; p < 0.01).

The sentence should read:

Additionally, HAQ-DI scores > 0.5 were associated with anxiety symptoms (OR [95% CI] 3.51 [1.85–6.64]; p < 0.01) and depression symptoms (OR [95% CI] 2.65 [1.56–4.50]; p < 0.01).

In the Abstract, Conclusions:

The incorrect sentence reads:

Patients with high PtGA scores or HAQ-DI scores ≤ 0.5 were more likely to experience anxiety and depression symptoms, irrespective of disease activity remission status.

The sentence should read:

Patients with high PtGA scores or HAQ-DI-based non-remission were more likely to experience anxiety and depression symptoms, irrespective of disease activity remission status.

In the Methods section, Patient and setting sub-section:

The first sentence should read: We performed a cross-sectional analysis of patients who visited the outpatient RA center of Kyoto University Hospital between May 1 and December 31, 2014, and whose data were collected in the 2014 Kyoto University Rheumatoid Arthritis Management Alliance (KURAMA) cohort [29].

The last sentence should read: The study protocol was approved by the Kyoto University Graduate School and Faculty of Medicine, Ethics Committee, and all procedures were performed in accordance with the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki and its later amendments or comparable ethical standards.

In the Funding section:

The sentence should read: The KURAMA cohort study is supported by a grant from Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd.

In the Ethics Approval and Consent to Participate section:

The sentence should read: The study protocol was approved by the Kyoto University Graduate School and Faculty of Medicine, Ethics Committee, and all procedures were performed in accordance with the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki and its later amendments, or comparable ethical standards.

The authors apologize the inconvenience caused.
