In this Primary Care paper by Lara R Fairall and colleagues (BMJ 2005;331:750-4, 1 Oct) we inadvertently misspelt the name of one of the authors, Pat Mayers (not Myers). This has now been corrected online. A process error in the editorial office led to the figure seriously overstating the number of patients lost to follow-up in the intervention group: 70 (not 7000) patients were lost. Additionally, the authors have sent us a fuller acknowledgment for two of the contributors, Robert Scherpbier and Salah-Eddine Ottmani (http://bmj.bmjjournals.com/cgi/content/full/331/7519/750/DC2).
