The Original Investigation entitled “Association of US State Implementation of Newborn Screening Policies for Critical Congenital Heart Disease With Early Infant Cardiac Deaths,”1 published in the December 5, 2017, issue of JAMA, should have included data for the 2013 birth cohort only through June 2013. The column of 2013 data in Table 2 has been updated with adjusted numbers. In addition, a sentence in the Results section and a sentence in the Limitations section describing the 2013 rate of death due to congenital heart disease have been removed. This article was corrected online. This article was also corrected in February 2018 for an error in the data collection period in the abstract.2
