In the article entitled “Relationships between brain tissue damage, oxygen desaturation, and disease severity in obstructive sleep apnea evaluated by diffusion tensor imaging”,1 under the method section in line 1, the mean age and BMI values were misprinted as 5.4 and 3.6 and the correct values are 50.4 and 30.6. Also, the average AHI score was incorrectly stated as 4.3 in line 1 under the result section and the correct value is 40.3.
BEFORE CORRECTION
Under “Methods”
Nineteen newly diagnosed (age 5.4 ± 9.2; body-mass-index [BMI], 3.6 ± 6.7 kg/m2; males, 14), treatment-naïve OSA patients were recruited from the Sleep Disorders Laboratory at the University of California Los Angeles.
Under “Results”
The average AHI score recorded across OSA patients was 4.3 ± 22.9 events/h.
AFTER CORRECTION
Under “Methods”
Nineteen newly diagnosed (age 50.4 ± 9.2; body-mass-index [BMI], 30.6 ± 6.7 kg/m2; males, 14), treatment-naïve OSA patients were recruited from the Sleep Disorders Laboratory at the University of California Los Angeles.
Under “Results”
The average AHI score recorded across OSA patients was 40.3 ± 22.9 events/h.
