Effects of Creative Expression Therapy for Older Adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment at Risk of Alzheimer’s Disease: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial [Corrigendum]

Zhao J, Li H, Lin R, Wei Y, Yang A. Clin Interv Aging. 2018;13:1313–1320.

Errors in Table 2 on page 1317 were identified by our readers and the authors have provided corrections as follows.

Table 2 caption, the text “Outcome at baseline, postintervention, and 3 months follow-up” should read “Outcome at baseline, postintervention, and 6 months follow-up”.

Table 2, Postintervention section, P-Value (group) column, CVAVLT Delay recall row, the text “0.026” should read “0.012”, which was consistent data with the main text.

Table 2, Follow-up section, P-Value (group) column, CVAVLT Delay recall row, the text “0.345” should read “0.025”, which was consistent data with the main text.

Table 2, Follow-up section, P-Value (group) column, MSQ row, the text “<0.001” should read “0.008”, which was consistent data with the main text.

Please see below for the updated Table 2.
