Erratum to “Validation and modification of HEART score components for patients with chest pain in the emergency department”

In the article entitled “Validation and modification of HEART score components for patients with chest pain in the emergency department,” [1] the data collection period for MACE incidence was incorrectly stated as “MACE incidence within the previous 3 months” in the “Data collection” section under METHODS. It has been corrected to “MACE incidence within 3 months.”

Before correction

Data on patients’ baseline characteristics (sex, age, smoking, familial history of coronary artery disease [CAD], aspirin use in the past 7 days), underlying disease (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity, dyslipidemia, atherosclerotic disease), initial vital signs (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate), history, initial troponin-I level, ECG results, HEART score, and MACE incidence within the previous 3 months were obtained and evaluated retrospectively.

After correction

Data on patients’ baseline characteristics (sex, age, smoking, familial history of coronary artery disease [CAD], aspirin use in the past 7 days), underlying disease (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity, dyslipidemia, atherosclerotic disease), initial vital signs (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate), history, initial troponin-I level, ECG results, HEART score, and MACE incidence within 3 months were obtained and evaluated retrospectively.
