Erratum
Unfortunately, the original version of this article [1] published in Critical Care contained an error. We have made an error in the calculation of the pooled risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for the effect of probiotics and synbiotics on hospital mortality. Currently, the revised effect on overall mortality is 1.02 (95% CI 0.85,1.22; P = 0.83, I2 = 0%). The corrected figure is shown in this erratum (Fig. 1). This error has not modified the results and conclusions of the meta-analysis.
