Correction to: J GEN INTERN MED
We would like to submit a corrigendum for our scientific paper above which was published by the JGIM (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/s11606-021-06701-z). Since its publication in 2021, we have received some interest in the paper, and would like to correct a minor erratum in Figure 1, as well as to provide more clarity on Figure 2.
Figure 1 is a flow diagram of patients from time of recruitment until 1-year follow-up. The minor erratum pertains to the reported number of Major Adverse Cardiovascular events at 1 year (change from 81 to 82) in those with CAD.
The corrections to the corresponding Results section on Pg 4 of the manuscript:
At 1 year, 1 (0.6%) out of the 158 patients classified as “CAD positive” had died of CV cause, and 82 (51.9%) developed MACE.
Figure 2 provides a breakdown of the diagnostic evaluation done for coronary artery disease in patients presenting with chest pain. In the original paper, we had represented the final diagnostic test which was done to confirm the diagnosis. However, this does not fully reflect the extent of evaluation for the subset of patients as several may have undergone multiple testing in a staged approach. Our revised Fig. 2 provides greater clarity on this as well as corrects some numerical inaccuracies.
We verify that these are minor edits and the corrections do not impact the computation or the validation of the risk prediction model for coronary artery disease, which is the primary focus of our paper.
Data Availability
Data can be shared provided a research collaborative agreement between relevant stakeholders has been signed and the necessary institutional review board clearance has been sought (in view of patient sensitive data involved).
