Erratum To: Combination of lung ultrasound (a comet-tail sign) and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide in differentiating acute heart failure from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma as cause of acute dyspnea in prehospital emergency setting

The Original Article was published on 14 April 2011

Correction

Following publication of our article [1], we noted that Table 2 (1) was published with several incorrect data values. The correct values should be:

Table 2 Univariate analysis for all demographic and clinical variables pertinent to diagnosis of acute HF or pulmonary disease (N = 218)a

Under the "Pulmonary-related dyspnea" column:

- Sex, males/females (%) should read 65.2/34.8

- Cough, Y/N should read 48/41

- Wheezes, Y/N should read 68/21

- ECG-normal sinus rhythm, Y/N should read 72/17

- Asthma/COPD medications (Y/N) should read 78/11

- Previous asthma/COPD (Y/N) should read 70/19

Under the "Acute HF-related dyspnea" column:

- Sex, males/females (%) should read 57.9/42.1

- Nocturnal dyspnea (Y/N) should read 43/86

- Orthopnea (Y/N) should read 39/90

- Rales (Y/N) should read 76/53

- Jugular venous distension (Y/N) should read 30/99

- HF medications (Y/N) should read 83/46

- Previous AMI (Y/N) should read 45/84

- Previous CHF (Y/N) should read 80/49

- Previous asthma/COPD (Y/N) should read 27/102

A copy of the table as it should appear can be found overleaf.
