In the sentence beginning ‘This is significant because ignorance about what ... irrational and may be harmful [17, 19, 48].’ the two greek words used in the Discussion section of this article [1] are spelled incorrect.

The words ‘Nomophobia’ should be ‘Nomoiphobia’ and ‘Nomoagnosia’ should be ‘Nomoiagnosia’.

The corrected sentence is “This is significant because ignorance about what the law actually requires, and how the law works (nomoiagnosia), may lead to fear of law (nomoiphobia) and, in turn, to defensive clinical practice, including behaviours that are harmful and/or wasteful [46, 47, 48]. The results of this study illustrate how nomoiagnosia and nomoiphobia may contribute to CPR decision-making that is fundamentally irrational and may be harmful [17, 19, 48].”

The original article has been corrected.
