Kiaii, MD, Byung C. Moon, MD, David Massel, MD, Yves Langlois, MD, Thomas
W. Austin, MD, Andrea Willoughby, RN, C. Guiraudon, MD, Craig R. Howard,
MD, and L. Ray Guo, MD, titled "A prospective randomized trial of
endoscopic versus conventional harvesting of the saphenous vein in coronary
artery bypass surgery" (2002;123:204-12)
In the February 2002
issue of the Journal, in the article by Kiaii and associates titled "Prospective Randomized Trial of Endoscopic Versus Conventional Harvesting of the Saphenous Vein in Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery" (2002;123;204-12), an error was made. In Table t (page 208), the Likert scale values "Leg pain at discharge"are reversed. As described in the"Methods" section, 0 represented no pain and 10 represented severe pain. The values recorded in Table 5 suggest the opposite. Therefore, the endoscopic group is shown as experiencing more pain than the conventionalgroup, whereas the opposite was found in the study and is so described in the"Results" section. Thevalues for "Leg pain at discharge" should read as follows: conventional group—median10, mean 8.9, SD 2; endoscopic group—Median 5, mean 5.3, SD 1.8.
