A Corrigendum on
Can We Optimize Antibiotic Use in Norwegian Neonates? A Prospective Comparison Between a University Hospital and a District Hospital
by Thaulow, C. M., Berild, D., Blix, H. S., Brigtsen, A. K., Myklebust, T. Å., and Eriksen, B. H. (2019). Front. Pediatr. 7:440. doi: 10.3389/fped.2019.00440
In the original article, in Figure 2, the lines related to each mean value showed ±2 standard deviations from the 95% confidence intervals. The corrected Figure 2 appears below.
FIGURE 2
Figure 2. Mean maximum CRP level (n = 120) in relation to number of treatment days (GA ≥ 28 weeks) among Norwegian hospitalized neonates.
In the original article, there was a mistake in Table 3, 95% confidence intervals presented on the first line in the section describing treatments for unconfirmed EOS in premature infants were not correct, 91–103 should have been 90–100, 77–107 should have been 76–100 and 100 should have been 81–100. Moreover, 95% confidence intervals presented in the fifth line are not correct; 0–14 should be 0–22 for all, 0–14 should be 0–26 for the University Hospital and 0–14 should be 0–29 for the District Hospital. The corrected Table 3 appears below.
TABLE 3
Table 3. Characteristic in treatment of early-onset sepsis (EOS) in two Norwegian neonatal units, gestational age (GA) ≥ 28 weeks.
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.
