In the article “Practice Parameter update: The care of the patient with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: Drug, nutritional, and respiratory therapies (an evidence-based review): Report of the Quality Standards Subcommittee of the American Academy of Neurology” by R.G. Miller et al. (Neurology® 2009;73:1218-1226), the explanations of two symbols used in the figure are transposed. The last two sentences of the legend should read as follows: “†Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy: rule out contraindications. ‡Prolonged meal time; ending meal prematurely because of fatigue; accelerated weight loss due to poor caloric intake; family concern about feeding difficulties.” The authors regret the error.
