Predictive Models of Fever, ICU Transfer, and Mortality in Hospitalized Patients With Neutropenia: Erratum

In the following article in the December 2020 compendium of the Journal, there were errors in the abstract.

The Measurements and Main Results section of the abstract should have read:

Measurements and Main Results: The derivation cohort included 1,531 hospital admissions in patients with neutropenia. Fever, ICU transfer, and in-hospital mortality occurred in 955 admissions (62%), 297 admissions (19%), and 147 admissions (10%), respectively. In the derivation cohort, the internally validated area under the curves with 95% CI for the fever, ICU transfer, and mortality models were 0.74 (0.67–0.84), 0.77 (0.67–0.86), and 0.95 (0.87–1.0), respectively. The validation cohort included 1,250 admissions in patients with neutropenia. In the validation cohort, the area under the curve (95% CI) for the fever, ICU transfer, and mortality models were 0.70 (0.67–0.73), 0.78 (0.72–0.84), and 0.91 (0.88-0.94), respectively. Using these models, we developed clinically applicable nomograms which detected adverse events a median of 4.0–11.4 hours prior to onset.
