Correction to: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-03937-1, published online 02 July 2025
The original version of this Article contained errors in the Results section, where three instances of the ‘median LOS days’ in parenthesis were mistakenly stated as reference citations due to a technical error in Production.
As a result,
“Regarding the hospital environment, 597 (2.3%) were admitted to the ward of emergency medicine, and the median LOS was 12 6-22 days.”
now reads:
“Regarding the hospital environment, 597 (2.3%) were admitted to the ward of emergency medicine, and the median LOS was 12 (6-22) days.”
Furthermore,
“In addition, 104 (20.3%) were admitted to the ward of emergency medicine, the median LOS was 23 11-30,36-47 days, and 153 (29.8%) required respirators.”
now reads:
“In addition, 104 (20.3%) were admitted to the ward of emergency medicine, the median LOS was 23 (11-42) days, and 153 (29.8%) required respirators.”
And,
“Furthermore, 104 (20.3%) were admitted to the ward of emergency medicine, the median LOS was 23 11-30,36-47 days, and 153 (29.8%) required respirators.”
now reads:
“Furthermore, 104 (20.3%) were admitted to the ward of emergency medicine, the median LOS was 23 (11-42) days, and 153 (29.8%) required respirators.”
