The authors would like to apologise for errors within Table 5 and Figure 1 of the above article.1
Diagnostic properties of RoTEM® parameters and conventional coagulation tests in children undergoing congenital heart surgery are indicated.
aPTT = activated partial thromboplastin time; AUC = area under the curve for receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis; NPV = negative predictive value; PPV = positive predictive value
True diagnosis is considered a blood loss above 20 ml/kg/24 hours
Scatter plot of post-operative Fib-TEM® maximum clot firmness and fibrinogen in 60 children after surgery for congenital heart disease.
In Table 5, in the “Routine parameters” section of the table, some of the “variables” were positioned on the wrong lines and thus lined up with the wrong row of figures. The corrected table is given below.
In Figure 1, the x-axis was incorrectly labelled. The corrected figure is given below.
These errors have no influence on the interpretation of results or the conclusion of the paper.
