Visual Acuity Impairment and Mortality in US Adults—Correction

Arch Ophthalmol. 2003;121(7):972. doi:10.1001/archopht.121.7.972

Error in Tables. In the Epidemiology and Biostatistics article titled "Visual Acuity Impairment and Mortality in US Adults, " published in the November issue of the ARCHIVES (2002;120:1544-1550), Table 1 and Table 2 contained errors. The correct race distributions are printed here (Table 1 and Table 2). These errors had no measurable impact on the hazard ratios adjusted for race that were presented in Table 3. In no case did the corrected estimates vary by more than 0.01 units for the hazard ratios and corresponding 95% confidence intervals.

In addition, in Table 1, the P value for Education should have been indicated as P<.001.
