In the article “Summary of evidence-based guideline update: Prevention of stroke in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation: Report of the Guideline Development Subcommittee of the American Academy of Neurology” by A. Culebras et al. (Neurology® 2014;82:716–724), there was an error on page 720 of the print article and on pages 24 and 58 of the full-length article (see data supplement e-1) regarding the recommended dosage for apixaban. The text should read: “Apixaban 5 mg twice daily (if serum creatinine <1.5 mg/dL), or 2.5 mg twice daily if any 2 of the following criteria are present: serum creatinine >1.5 mg/dL and <2.5 mg/dL; body weight ≤60 kg; age ≥80 years.” The authors regret the error.
