Correction: Family physician-led, team-based, lifestyle intervention in patients with metabolic syndrome: results of a multicentre feasibility project

An earlier version of this article (published Mar. 14, 2017) contained errors in the abstract and results section.¹

In the abstract results, the sentence "At 12 months, 19% of patients (95% confidence interval [CI] 14%-24%) showed reversal of MetS, VO2max increased by 16% (95% CI 13%-18%), and Healthy Eating Index and Mediterranean Diet Scores improved by 9.6% (95% CI 7.6%-11.6%) and 1.4% (1.1%-1.6%), respectively." should have read (correction in italics), "At 12 months, 19% of patients (95% confidence interval [CI] 14%-24%) showed reversal of MetS, VO2max increased by 16% (95% CI 13%-18%), and Healthy Eating Index and Mediterranean Diet Scores improved by 9.6 (95% CI 7.6-11.6) points on a 100-point scale and by 1.4 (95% CI 1.1-1.6) points on a 14-point scale, respectively."

In the main results, "Aerobic capacity and diet quality," the sentence "Both diet quality scores, HEI-C and MDS, improved significantly over time (95% CI 7.6%-11.6% and 1.1%-1.6%, respectively) (Table 2)." should have read (correction in italics), "Both diet quality scores, HEI-C and MDS, improved significantly over time (9.6, 95% CI 7.6-11.6 on a 100-point scale and 1.4, 95% CI 1.1-1.6, on a 14-point scale, respectively) (Table 2)."

The authors would also like to clarify that all changes reported in the abstract and body of the manuscript are absolute rather than relative.
