Erratum to: Survival and hospitalization among patients with acute myeloid leukemia treated with azacitidine or decitabine in a large managed care population: a real-world, retrospective, claims-based, comparative analysis

The Original Article was published on 25 March 2014

After the publication of this work [1], it was brought to our attention that a statement in the article is not consistent with the data. The statement “Prior RBC transfusions were found to significantly increase the time to hospitalization (adjusted HR 1.373, p = 0.018) while no other covariates examined were found to impact the risk of hospitalization” is not a correct reflection of the results from the data analysis in Table 2 of the article.

The corrected statement is provided here as follows:

“Prior RBC transfusions were found to significantly shorten the time to hospitalization (adjusted HR 1.373, p = 0.018) while no other covariates examined were found to impact the risk of hospitalization.”
