Errors in Results and Tables

PMCID: PMC10357352  PMID: 37466992

In the Original Investigation titled “Association of Opioid Agonist Treatment With All-Cause Mortality and Specific Causes of Death Among People With Opioid Dependence: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis,”1 published Online First on June 2, 2021, and in the September 2021 issue of JAMA Psychiatry, the number of person-years from all-cause mortality rates from a study was mistakenly applied to suicide- and overdose-related mortality rates during incarceration, which resulted in errors in the Results section, Table 3, and eFigure 34 in the Supplement. Additional errors were found in the Abstract, Table 2, the Figure, and the Supplement. None of the interpretations or conclusions were affected by the errors noted above.2 A Letter of Explanation2 has been published that explains the errors. This article has been previously corrected3,4 and was also corrected online for the present errors.
