Correction to: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-97979-w, published online 20 September 2021
The original version of this Article contained errors in Table 1 and Table 3.
In Table 1, in the group “Already taking antibiotics at emergency call, n (%)”, the number of patients in “Intervention (n = 62)” and “Control (n = 52)” were interchanged. The incorrect and correct values appear below.
Incorrect:
Characteristic | Intervention (n = 62) | Control (n = 52) |
|---|---|---|
qSOFA score, n (%) | ||
Already taking antibiotics at emergency call, n (%) | 9 (18) | 17 (28) |
Correct:
Characteristic | Intervention (n = 62) | Control (n = 52) |
|---|---|---|
qSOFA score, n (%) | ||
Already taking antibiotics at emergency call, n (%) | 17 (28) | 9 (18) |
In Table 3, the p value for the outcome “Number of hospital admissions up to 90 days from emergency call (mean, SD admission per patient)” was incorrect. The incorrect and correct values appear below.
Incorrect:
Outcome | Intervention (n = 62) | Control (n = 52) | Total (N = 14) | Difference (95% CI, Significance level) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Routine data (SAIL) | ||||
Number of hospital admissions up to 90 days from emergency call (mean, SD admission per patient) | 87 (3.5, 3.3) | 56 (1.8, 1.0) | 143 (2.83, 2.7) | Mean Diff 1.8 (1.0, 2.5). p = 0.00 |
Correct:
Outcome | Intervention (n = 62) | Control (n = 52) | Total (N = 14) | Difference (95% CI, Significance level) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Routine data (SAIL) | ||||
Number of hospital admissions up to 90 days from emergency call (mean, SD admission per patient) | 87 (3.5, 3.3) | 56 (1.8, 1.0) | 143 (2.83, 2.7) | Mean Diff 1.8 (1.0, 2.5). p < 0.05 |
The original Article has been corrected.
