Zhong J, Shen G, Yang H, et al. COVID-19 in patients with rheumatic disease in Hubei province, China: a multicentre retrospective observational study. Lancet Rheumatol 2020; 2: e557–64—The first paragraph of the Methods section of this Article has been updated to include the following statement clarifying how consent was obtained: “Verbal consent was obtained from patients at the start of the survey. As this study was carried out during the height of the pandemic in China, the ethics committee approved that verbal consent be obtained at the start of the survey, and waived the need for written consent.” This correction has been made to the online version as of April 16, 2021.
