In the article “Decreasing Time Intervals in Recurring Capsular Contracture? A Single Center Retrospective Study over 6 Years,” published as e4872 on March 10, 2023, in Plastic and Surgery Global Open, an error appeared section of text describing the data in Table 4.
In Table 4 (page 6) the two p-values (Total p1-2 & p2-3) in the top right corner are named and numbered correctly, but they are incorrectly named and numbered in the text below the table in the left paragraph (page 6).
The published sentence reads, “In the overall population of our patients, the time interval up to the second revision surgery decreased significantly compared with the time interval until the first revision surgery (8.9 years versus 12.3 years, P = 0.012). The time interval decreases again when an implant had to be replaced a third time (6.7 years, P = 0.192).
This should instead read, “In the overall population of our patients, the time interval up to the second revision surgery decreased significantly compared with the time interval until the first revision surgery (8.9 years versus 12.3 years, p1-2 = 0,042). The time interval decreases again when an implant had to be replaced a third time (6.7 years, p2-3 = 0,292).”
