Abstract

Following publication, we discovered a data processing error that misassigned North American Land Data Assimilation System 2 (NLDAS-2)-derived temperature index values, affecting a subset of locations over the assessed time period. Upon correcting this error and repeating the analysis, the findings remained fundamentally unchanged, although the partial misassignment had biased risk estimates towards the null. The corrected odds ratios increased marginally for heat index and WBGT indices, and by a larger magnitude for ambient temperature and minimum/early morning indices, relative to case-day median index values, which also increased upon re-analysis. The shapes of the response curves for the multiple indices remained consistent with the exceptions of minimum temperature, morning (0600 local) temperature, and morning WBGT, presented in the electronic supplementary material.
