Objective:

To correct errors in the published data regarding the clinical utility of a host-protein test for suspected infections in pediatric emergency settings, emphasizing the importance of accurate data for clinical decision-making.

Approach:

Key Findings:

• Incorrect data was presented for MMBV in the outpatient columns, which has now been rectified.
• Blank lines and misplaced data were identified in the original Table 1, leading to confusion.
• Corrected Table 1 provides accurate stratification by outpatient vs. inpatient disposition, enhancing clarity.

Interpretation:

The original article has been updated to reflect accurate data following the identification of errors.

Limitations:

• The correction does not address any potential implications of the errors on the study's findings, which could affect clinical interpretations.

Conclusion:

The article has been updated to correct the inaccuracies in Table 1, highlighting the critical need for precision in clinical data reporting.
