In the article, “Washed cell salvage in surgical patients: A review and meta-analysis of prospective randomized trials under PRISMA”,[1] which appeared in Volume 95, Issue 31 of Medicine, “/transplantation” was left out the main text and the supplemental digital content.
The last sentence of section 2.7 should appear as:
Subgroups were prospectively defined according to type of surgery (orthopedic, cardiac, vascular, multiple trauma/massive transfusion, cancer/transplantation, gynecology/obstetric, and pediatric) and age (pediatrics/adults) to determine whether effect sizes varied according to the type of surgery.
The first sentence of section 3.2 should appear as:
Of the 47 trials, 15 included orthopedic surgery,[12,17,18,24–27,30,38,40,42,44,48,54,55] 21 cardiac surgery,[9,14–16,20,22,23,28,29,32,33,35–37,41,43,46,47,50,51,53] 6 vascular surgery,[13,19,31,45,49,52] 1 multiple trauma surgery,[10] 2 cancer surgery/transplantation,[21,39] and 2 pediatric surgery.[11,34]
In Table 1, the surgical discipline of the study Sankarankutty et al should state transplantation.
The heading for section 3.3.5 should be “Cancer surgery/transplantation.”
The first sentence of section 3.3.5 should be:
We found 2 studies[21,39] that used cell salvage including 65 participants undergoing cancer surgery/transplantation.
The title for Supplemental Digital Content 6 should be Forest plot of cell salvage compared to no cell salvage in cancer surgery/transplantation.
