The November 10, 2009, article by Kornblith et al, entitled “Quality of Life of Patients With Endometrial Cancer Undergoing Laparoscopic International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics Staging Compared With Laparotomy: A Gynecologic Oncology Group Study” (J Clin Oncol 27:5337–5342, 2009), contained an error.
In the Results section, under “QoL of Patients With Endometrial Cancer Assigned to Laparoscopy Versus Laparotomy,” the number of patients in the last sentence of the third paragraph was given as 273, whereas it should have been 237, as follows:
“Of 237 patients reporting the time to return to work, the median time to return to work was 42 days for the laparoscopy group compared with 45 days in the laparotomy group, a small but significant difference (Wilcoxon rank sum test, P = .04).”
The authors apologize to the readers for the mistake.
