Error in Study of Risk Score in Adult Heart Transplant Candidates

PMCID: PMC11385331  PMID: 39250127

In the Original Investigation titled “Development and Validation of a Risk Score Predicting Death Without Transplant in Adult Heart Transplant Candidates,”1 published in the February 13, 2024, issue of JAMA, incorrect data regarding left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) were reported due to a coding error, as described in the accompanying Letter.2 Correcting this input led to changes in the Abstract, the Results section, the Table, Figures 2-4, and Supplement 1. These errors did not affect the overall interpretation of the model or the conclusion that the US-CRS model performs better in risk prediction. This article was corrected online.1
