The authors of this review, published in the June 2023 issue, have identified that three p-values were reported incorrectly in table 1.
For Hospital mortality the p-value for NIV versus COT was reported as 0.981, this has been corrected to 0.004. For ICU length of stay the p-value for NIV versus HFNO was reported as 0.032, this has been corrected to 0.320. For Hospital length of stay the p-value for NIV versus COT was reported as 0.999, this has been corrected to <0.001.
The corrected table is shown below.
The following change to the text of the paper was also required as a result of these amendments.
In the Results, Secondary outcomes in the overall population, ICU and hospital mortality section; in the following sentence, the p-value has changed from 0.981 to 0.004:
“NIV, but not HFNO, reduced hospital mortality (OR 0.64, 95% CI 0.47–0.87; p=0.004, moderate certainty) compared with COT (table 1, and supplementary tables S5 and S6).”
