Correction to: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-78505-w, published online 07 December 2020
The original version of this Article contained an error, where the values for “sensitivity” and “specificity” were switched.
As a result, in the Abstract,
“The optimal cut-point was a score ≥ 4, which had a sensitivity of 78.36% and a specificity of 67.59%.”
now reads:
“The optimal cut-point was a score ≥ 4, which had a specificity of 78.36% and a sensitivity of 67.59%.”
In addition, in the Results section, under the subheading ‘Development of a COVID-19 mortality risk score’,
“The optimal cut-point with the highest combined sensitivity and specificity was a score of ≥ 4, which has a sensitivity of 78.36% and a specificity of 67.59%, with a positive predictive value of 72.6% and negative predictive value of 74%.”
now reads:
“The optimal cut-point with the highest combined sensitivity and specificity was a score of ≥ 4, which has a specificity of 78.36% and a sensitivity of 67.59%, with a positive predictive value of 72.6% and negative predictive value of 74%.”
The original Article has been corrected.
