Correction
In the article by Tsantilas et al, “Risk of Stroke or Death Is Associated With the Timing of Carotid Artery Stenting for Symptomatic Carotid Stenosis: A Secondary Data Analysis of the German Statutory Quality Assurance Database,” which published online March 27, 2018, and appeared in the April 3, 2018 issue of the journal (J Am Heart Assoc. 2018; 7:e007983. DOI: 10.1161/JAHA.117.007983), the errors occurred. On page 6, in Table 3, the last column, all P‐Values with >0.001 were corrected to <0.001. On page 8, in Figure 3, the graphs for A and B were the same. The corrected Table 3 and Figure 3, containing the correct graph for B, are presented below.
Figure 3.
Multivariable regression analysis. Association of the time interval (as a continuous variable) between the neurologic index event and CAS on (A) the risk of any stroke or death (P=0.019), (B) any major stroke or death (P=0.080), and (C) all cause death (P=0.115). A relative risk of 1 corresponds to the average relative risk of all patients. Adjusted for age, sex, ASA status, type of index event, degree of ipsi‐ and contralateral stenosis, periprocedural antiplatelet therapy, pre‐ and postprocedural neurologic assessment, intraprocedural neuromonitoring, stent design, type of stent, use of an embolic protection system, annual center volume, and hospital site code. ASA indicates American Society of Anesthesiologists score; CAS, carotid artery stenting; CI, confidence interval; RR, relative risk.
The authors regrets the errors.
