Abstract
Subclinical Atrial Fibrillation and the Risk of Stroke Original Article, N Engl J Med 2012;366:120-129. In the Stroke or Systemic Embolism subsection of Results (page 123), the first two sentences of the second paragraph included inaccurate hazard ratios, 95% confidence intervals, and P values. In the first sentence, the parenthetical should have read, "(hazard ratio, 1.77; 95% CI, 1.01 to 3.10; P=0.047)," rather than "(hazard ratio, 1.76; 95% CI, 0.99 to 3.11; P=0.05)." In the second sentence, the parentheticals should have read, "(hazard ratio, 2.99; 95% CI, 1.55 to 5.77; P=0.001)," rather than "(hazard ratio, 2.00; 95% CI, 1.13 to 3.55; P=0.02)," and "(hazard ratio, 4.96; 95% CI, 2.39 to 10.3; P<0.001)," rather than "(hazard ratio, 1.98; 95% CI, 1.11 to 3.51; P=0.02)." The article is correct at NEJM.org.
