In the Original Investigation titled “Long-term Thromboembolic Risk in Patients with Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation After Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery and Patients with Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation,”1 published online on March 28, 2018, there were errors in the hazard ratios and 95% CIs presented in Figure 3. The correct values for the odds of a thromboembolic event after oral anticoagulant therapy for patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation were 0.59 (95% CI, 0.51-0.68), for the odds of death after oral anticoagulant therapy for patients with postoperative atrial fibrillation, 1.09 (95% CI, 0.82-1.43), and for patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation, 0.51 (95% CI, 0.47-0.55).
