Abstract

Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, North-East Ethiopia: a cross-sectional study by Bayked EM, Yimam MG, Yalew ZM, Toleha HN and Zewdie S (2024). Front. Oncol. 13:1288166. doi: 10.3389/fonc.2023.1288166 In the published article, under the methods subsection, i.e., data processing and analysis, "Equation 6" is not correct, which was:□□□□□□□□ □□□□□□ □□30 □□□□□□□□□□□□□□ □□□□□□□□□□ = ∑(□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□ □□□□□□□□□□□□)-∑(100-□□□□□□□□□□□□□□ □□□□□□□□□□□□) 13 [6]The error happened because we accidentally used the "minus" sign instead of the "plus" sign, although we applied the correct computation to calculate the mean QLQ_C30 summary score.The correct formula is:□□□□□□□□ □□□□□□ □□30 □□□□□□□□□□□□□□ □□□□□□□□□□ = ∑(□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□ □□□□□□□□□□□□) + ∑(100-□□□□□□□□□□□□□□ □□□□□□□□□□□□) 13 [6]The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
