The authors regret that the Cohn et al (2007) article was incorrectly categorized into hospital case-control in this study. It is now reproduced correctly at the text and Tables 1 and 2 correspondingly. The authors also corrected the term of DDE for their consistency as below.

• The numbers of study in the Methods of the Abstract and the second paragraph in the Results section should be corrected as follows.
- 16 hospital-based case-control studies → 15 hospital-based case-control studies
- 10 nested case-control studies → 11 nested case-control (prospective) studies
• The design of Cohn (2007)'s study in Table 1 should be corrected to Nested CC.
• The results related to study design in Table 2 should be changed as follows.

• All the terms of “exposure to DDE” in the text should be corrected to “exposure to DDT”.
