Following publication of the original article [1], the authors identified an error in the column p value in Table 5. They erroneously listed the p-value for working experience as "0.616", but the correct value is "0.0616". The correct table is given below.

Table 5.

Factors influencing implementation of ADDR by community pharmacists

Factor Odds ratio 95% Confidence interval p value
Routinely receive prescriptions from nephrologists
 No (ref) 1.16–8.44 0.0247
 Yes 3.12
Experience with adverse drug events caused by inappropriate dosage
 No (ref) 1.00–15.3 0.0498
 Yes 3.92
Work experience
 <5 years (ref) 0.96–6.02 0.0616
 ≥5 years 2.40
Awareness of need for pharmacists to check dosage of renally excreted drugs 4.44 2.52–7.81 <0.001

Predictors: duration of work experience, Routinely dispense prescriptions from nephrologists, obstacle to implementation of ADDR, awareness of pharmacotherapy for CKD patients
