The authors apologise that within the introduction of the published article the sentence ‘Quality of life and mental health in this population have not previously been studied in Norway’ needed further clarification and the inclusion of additional references.

The actual and preceding sentence should read as follows:

However, specific population-based data on quality of life issues and mental health in adolescents with Fontan circulation are limited, constituting a knowledge gap. Quality of life and mental health have been studied in our institution in the general paediatric CHD population previously (47-49), but Fontan-specific studies have not been performed in Norway before.
