In the article titled “Association Between Physician Burnout and Patient Safety, Professionalism, and Patient Satisfaction: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis” by Panagioti et al1 published in the October 2018 print issue of JAMA Internal Medicine, there were data-entry errors in the Table, typographical errors in Figure 2, and a reversed description in Figure 4 for favors low and favors high patient satisfaction. The letter to the editor by Dyrbye et al2 and the letter in reply by Panagioti et al3 explain these errors in more detail. This article has been corrected online.
