Correction: Outcomes of hospital-acquired SARS-CoV-2 infection in the Canadian first wave epicentre: a retrospective cohort study

Errors occurred in an article published Feb. 1, 2022.1

In the Results section under “Clinical outcomes,” the sentence that read “Patients with HA-SARS-CoV-2 infection had a higher rate of in-hospital mortality (n = 97 [38.2%]) than patients with NHA infection (n = 117 [26.4%], p = 0.001)” has been changed to correspond to the correct numbers in Table 2, and now reads “Patients with HA-SARS-CoV-2 infection had a higher rate of in-hospital mortality (n = 99 [39.1%]) than patients with NHA infection (n = 115 [25.9%], p = 0.001).”

The percentages for mortality have accordingly been changed in the Results section of the abstract. Previously, the text read “The mortality rate was higher in the HA group than in the NHA group (38.2% v. 26.4%, p = 0.001),” and has now been changed to read “The mortality rate was higher in the HA group than in the NHA group (39.1% v. 25.9%, p = 0.001).”

In Table 2, the subheading “Age, yr” has been changed to “Mortality by age, yr,” for clarity.
