Incorrect Percent Values Reported in Text and Table 1

PMCID: PMC7042848  PMID: 32068802

In the Research Letter entitled “Change in Prevalence of Disabilities and Accommodation Practices Among US Medical Schools, 2016 vs 2019” published in the November 26, 2019, issue of JAMA,1 incorrect percent values were reported in the text and in Table 1. A sentence in the Results should have read: “Of the 64 schools that responded in both years, the total number of students reporting disabilities increased from 1142 (2.9%) in 2016 to 2028 (4.9%) in 2019 (difference, 1.9% [95% CI, 1.8%-2.3%]; relative increase, 69%) (Table 1).” In Table 1, the overall percent of students with disability in 2016 should have been reported as 2.9%, and in 2019, the overall percent should have been reported as 4.9%. Correction of these values does not affect the results, which remain as a 69% relative increase. This article was corrected online.
