Mortality and Causes of Death in Children With Cerebral Palsy With Scoliosis Treated With and Without Surgery

PMCID: PMC11383873  PMID: 38546221

In the Research Article “Mortality and Causes of Death in Children With Cerebral Palsy With Scoliosis Treated With and Without Surgery” by Ahonen et al.,1 the y-axis of the Figure, panel A, and its legend should use the term survival rather than risk of death. The updated figure and legend are provided further. The authors regret the error.

Figure. Observed Survival of Patients.

Figure

(B) The survival difference between nonsurgical and surgical groups during different periods of the study.
