Incorrect Wording: In the Caring for the Critically
Ill Patient entitled “Effect of Exogenous Surfactant (Calfactant) in
Pediatric Acute Lung Injury: A Randomized Controlled Trial” published
in the January 26, 2005, issue of JAMA (2005;293:470-476),
the word “less” incorrectly was used instead of “more.”
On page 474, the first sentence in the “Comment” section should
be “Infants, children, and adolescents with ALI who received calfactant
in this multicenter study had decreased mortality, more rapid improvement
in oxygenation index, and were more likely to respond to conventional mechanical
ventilation.”
