Correction to Tadd et al.
In the article “Neuroimaging in the Acute Psychiatric Setting: Associations With Neuropsychiatric Risk Factors,” by Katelyn Tadd, M.D., M.P., B.Biomed., et al. (doi: 10.1176/appi.neuropsych.21110269), Table 3 (p. 189) had errors in the odds ratios and confidence intervals associated with the abnormal brain CT scan and preceding brain CT scan (the bottom two rows of the table). In the Results section of the main text describing Table 3’s findings (p. 188), the sentence “Forty-one patients had a brain CT scan prior to an MRI scan, and unsurprisingly, those with an abnormal CT scan were more likely to have an abnormal MRI scan” should have read “Forty-one patients had a brain CT scan prior to an MRI scan, and there was no association with MRI results.”
The article was first published online September 21, 2022, and appeared in the Spring 2023 issue (Vol. 35, No. 2, pp. 184–191). A corrected version of the article was posted online on May 12, 2023, and the corrected Table also appears below.
