By Ivert LU, Winther AH, Jonsson P and Brauner H (2024) Front. Oncol. 14:1433821. doi: 10.3389/fonc.2024.1433821
In the published article, there was an error in Table 1 as published. The caption “Disease durationb” was incorrectly written as “Disease durationb”. The corrected Table 1 and its caption “Disease durationb” appear below.
Table 1
Table 1. Patient demographics and grouping variables, n=70.
“Disease durationb.”
In the published article, there was an error in Tables 2 and 3 as published. “Presented as mean score (standard deviation) and (mean percentage of maximum score)” should be changed to “Presented as mean score (standard deviation) and mean percentage of maximum score”. The corrected Tables 2 and 3 and their captions appear below.
Table 2
Table 2. Overall informational needs and educational needs assessment tool domains among 70 patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma*.
Table 3
Table 3. Overall informational needs and educational needs assessment tool domains among 55 patients with mycosis fungoides.
“Presented as mean score (standard deviation) and mean percentage of maximum score.”
A correction has been made to the Abstract, Methods. This sentence previously stated:
“The domain scores ranged from 0 to 18 and the total score from 0 to 51, with a higher score indicating a greater need for education.”
The corrected sentence appears below:
“The domain scores ranged from 0 to 18 (total score from 0 to 51). Each domain score was presented as a mean percentage of the maximum possible domain score.”
A correction has been made to the Abstract, Conclusion. This sentence previously stated:
“We found that 65% of the CTCL patients in the cohort, particularly females, expressed a need for education, especially regarding disease process and treatment.”
The corrected sentence appears below:
“CTCL patients in the cohort, particularly females, expressed a need for education, especially regarding disease process and treatment.”
A correction has been made to the Main text, Questionnaires regarding educational needs. This sentence previously stated:
“Therefore, to facilitate comparisons between domains, the total score was divided by the maximum possible score and presented as a mean percentage.”
The corrected sentence appears below:
“Therefore, to facilitate comparisons between domains, each domain score was presented as a mean percentage of the maximum possible domain score.”
A correction has been made to the Main text, Questionnaires regarding educational needs (last sentence). This sentence previously stated:
“The questionnaire was adapted for the purpose of the present study and used several of the original questions (see Supplementary 1), translated from Swedish to English, with the original Swedish questionnaire attached).”
The corrected sentence appears below:
“The questionnaire was adapted for the purpose of the present study and used several of the original questions (see Supplementary 1), translated from Swedish to English, with the original Swedish questionnaire attached.”
A correction has been made to the Main text, Result, overall self-reported educational needs.
This sentence previously stated:
“The answers did not differ significantly depending on disease duration (<2 years vs. = 2 years).”
The corrected sentence appears below:
“The answers did not differ significantly depending on disease duration (<2 years vs. ≥ 2 years).”
A correction has been made to the Main text, Conclusion. This sentence previously stated:
“We found that 65% of the CTCL patients in the cohort, particularly females, expressed a need for education, especially regarding disease process and treatment.”
The corrected sentence appears below:
“CTCL patients in the cohort, particularly females, expressed a need for education, especially regarding disease process and treatment.”
The authors apologize for these errors and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
