Lee, Yoo, Kim, Jung, and Yoo: Erratum: Disease burden of pneumonia in Korean adults aged over 50 years stratified by age and underlying diseases
In the article cited above, the addition of "b" annotation would be needed in Table 5 of the main text.
bIn case of CURB-65, the variables are as follows: age < 65 years, absence of chronic cardiovascular disorder, absence of chronic lung disease, absence of CNS disorders, and absence of chronic renal disorders.
Hence, meaning of the text would need the correction. The correction text from eighth line to thirteenth line of the first paragraph, page 769, is as follows: "The propensity to score low on the CURB-65 was decreased in the patients aged 50 to 64 (p < 0.001), in those without chronic renal disease (p < 0.001), and in those without a CNS disorder (p = 0.024). Moreover, a high CURB-65 score was more likely in patients without chronic lung disease (p = 0.014)."
We apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused.
