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.
