ERRATUM
In the December 2005 issue of Anesthesia & Analgesia, in the article by Anghelescu et al., "The Safety of Patient-Controlled Analgesia by Proxy in Pediatric Oncology Patients" (2005;101:1623–7)
, the authors have identified an error and wish to publish a correction.
In the abstract, the sentence that reads "In the PCA by proxy group two respiratory complications and two neurological complications wre observed." should read "In the PCA by proxy group two respiratory complications, two neurological complications and one mixed respiratory and neurological complication were observed." On page 1624, in the Results section, the sentences that read "PCA was self-managed during 26 of the 28 periods in which respiratory status was altered and during 33 of the 35 periods in which neurological changes were reported. Therefore, serious side effects occurred in only 4 of 576 (0.87%) of periods of PCA by proxy." should read "PCA was self-managed during 26 of the 28 periods in which respiratory status was altered, during 33 of the 35 periods in which neurological changes were reported and 1 of the 7 periods in which both neurological and respiratory complications were observed. Therefore, serious side effects occurred in only 5 of 576 (0.87%) of periods of PCA by proxy."
The authors regret not detecting this inconsistency between the table and the text prior to publication.
