Erratum

It has been brought to our attention that in Table 4 of the paper "Metabolic syndrome in people with schizophrenia: a review", by de Hert et al, published in the February 2009 issue of World Psychiatry, there was a factual error: in the study by Saddichha et al, listed in the table, the number of patients was 99 instead of 433, and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 18.2% instead of 34.0%.
