After publication of this article [1], the authors detected an error in the analyses: the prevalence for antipsychotics in people with dementia should be between 11.7% and 20.8%, and not between 11.7% and 20.7%, as stated in the original article. The reported descriptive incidence and deprescribing rates for psychotropic drugs were also revised. This caused corrections in the abstract, Table 2, Fig. 3 and the Discussion section to be made.

The original article [1] has been corrected.
