Insights
This article correction addresses errors in the 2023 consensus on emergency department management of atrial fibrillation (AF). It rectifies figures and clarifies the rivaroxaban dosage for optimal patient care.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Emergency Medicine
- Pharmacology
Context:
- The original article provided consensus guidelines for managing atrial fibrillation in emergency departments.
- This erratum addresses specific inaccuracies identified post-publication.
- The consensus involved leading Spanish medical societies: SEMES, SEC, and SETH.
Purpose:
- To correct factual errors in the published article.
- To ensure accurate clinical guidance for emergency department management of atrial fibrillation.
- To provide updated figures and dosage information for rivaroxaban.
Summary:
- Figure 1 and Figure 3 from the original publication contained errors and have been replaced.
- The dosage for rivaroxaban in Table 1 has been corrected from 20 mg/12 h to 20 mg/24 h.
- These corrections pertain to the management of atrial fibrillation in emergency settings.
Impact:
- Ensures healthcare providers have access to accurate information for treating atrial fibrillation.
- Improves patient safety by correcting medication dosage errors.
- Maintains the integrity and reliability of clinical practice guidelines.
Text:
In the article "Emergency department management of atrial fibrillation: 2023 consensus from the Spanish Society of Emergency Medicine (SEMES), the Spanish Society of Cardiology (SEC), and the Spanish Society of Thrombosis and Hemostasis (SETH)" published in Volume 35, Issue 5, October 2023, October 2023, there were some errors that are detailed and corrected below: On page 361, Figure 1, this originally published figure contained errors and would be replaced by the one attached below. On page 363, Table 1, in the column for rivaroxaban dose, where it says 20 mg/12 h, it should read 20 mg/24 h. On page 365, Figure 3, this originally published figure contained errors and would be replaced by the figure below.

Types of Errors: Detection and Minimization
Absolute error in a measurement is the numerical difference from the true or central value. Relative error is the ratio between absolute error and the true or central value, expressed as a percentage.
Errors can be classified by source, magnitude, and sign. There are three types of errors: systematic, random, and gross.
