In the article “Top studies of 2021 relevant to primary care. From the PEER team,”1 published in the May issue of Canadian Family Physician, proportions were inadvertently transposed. The sentence in question should have appeared as follows:
At 3.3 years, 3.5% of participants in the intensive group developed the primary composite outcome (stroke, acute coronary syndrome, decompensated heart failure, coronary revascularization, atrial fibrillation, or death from cardiovascular causes) versus 4.6% in the control group (NNT=91).
The online version has been corrected. Canadian Family Physician and the authors apologize for any confusion this may have caused.
