Errors in Introduction and End Matter

PMCID: PMC8218225  PMID: 34152381

In a Research Letter, “Assessing the Agreement of 5 Ideal Body Weight Calculations for Selecting Medication Dosages for Children With Obesity,”1 published in the June 2019 issue of JAMA Pediatrics, there was an error in the introduction. The phrase “for children shorter than 5 ft, the IBW in kilograms is calculated as ([height in inches]2 × 1.65)/1000” should have read “for children shorter than 5 ft, the IBW in kilograms is calculated as ([height in centimeters]2 × 1.65)/1000.” The error has been corrected online. In addition, Author Contributions information missing from the article has been added online.
