Objective:

To correct errors in the regression formula and calculations related to the predicted normal tracheal diameter (NTD) in a previous study, ensuring clarity on the nature of the errors.

Key Findings:
  • Errors in the regression formula description were corrected without affecting study conclusions.
  • Gestational age was initially entered incorrectly, affecting Z-score calculations.
  • The predicted standard deviation formula was corrected, leading to recalculated Z-scores.
Interpretation:

Despite the corrections, the statistical significance and overall conclusions of the study remain unchanged, reaffirming the study's validity.

Limitations:
  • Errors were limited to the written description and calculations, not affecting the original analyses.
  • Corrections may lead to confusion regarding previously published results, particularly in the interpretation of Z-scores.
Conclusion:

The authors apologize for the errors and confirm that the study's conclusions are still valid, emphasizing the importance of accurate reporting.
