Incorrect Positive Predictive Values Reported

PMCID: PMC8207235  PMID: 34129014

In the Review titled “Acute Pancreatitis: A Review,”1 published in the January 26, 2021, issue of JAMA, incorrect positive predictive values were reported. The sentence under Clinical Presentation and Diagnosis in the Methods section should have read “[C-reactive protein] levels of 190 mg/L or greater within the first 48 hours of admission or an absolute increase of greater than 90 mg/L have positive predictive values of 31.7% and 27.4% for predicting severe disease, respectively.” This article was corrected online.
