In "Syndromic Surveillance in Public Health Practice, New York City," by Richard Heffernan et al., errors occurred. On page 861, in Table 2, the numbers of visits indicated in the headings for columns 3, 4, and 5 are incorrect. In the corrected table, column 3, % age 13–39 y, n = 946,478; column 4, % age 40–64 y, n = 604,707; and column 5, % age >65, n = 259,615. Additionally, a footnote has been added to the column 2 heading: *Total number includes 7,266 visits for which patients' ages were unavailable.
The corrected table appears in the updated article at http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/EID/vol10no5/03-0646.htm#table2
We regret any confusion these errors may have caused.
In "Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus Hospitalizations," by Matthew J. Kuehnert et al., an error occurred. In Table 3, columns 3 and 5, the rates shown for hospitalization with S. aureus and MRSA-related discharge diagnoses were per 10,000 discharges, rather than per 1,000 discharges, as indicated.
The corrected table appears in the updated article at http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/EID/vol11no06/04-0831.htm#table3
We regret any confusion this error may have caused.
