Correction to: Health Qual Life Outcomes (2019);17:20 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12955-018-1077-6 The original article [1] contains a major error whereby a main Table is omitted. Thus, new Table 3 (shown ahead) should be considered as Table 3 in the original article. All citations in the text to tables are with these changes are correct.

1 Two validated QoL questionnaires with very large difference between outcomes

2 Predominantly NMIBC patients, scores not specific for MIBC population

3 Small number of patients

4 Large difference in populations hence diverging scores

5 Use of different QoL scales

6 Only one study representing metastatic population, no studies representing neoadjuvant population

7 Mixed BC population, selected population [34]

8 Compliance 47-77%, thereby introducing selection bias

9 QoL questionnaires designed for prostate population

10 As estimated by funnel plot
