Patient insight into the impact of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in the morning: an internet survey

Correction to: Partridge M, Karlsson N, and Small I. Patient insight into the impact of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in the morning: an internet survey. Curr Med Res Opin 2010;25(8):2043–8.

The authors have been made aware of an error on page 2045. Part of the legend under Figure 1 is missing. The figure legend should read:

Figure 1. Time when COPD symptoms are worse than usual. Morning was defined as from the time respondents woke up until they were dressed, had breakfast and were ready to start the day; midday as the time around lunch; afternoon as the time before they had dinner; evening as from the time they had dinner until they went to bed; and night as from the time they went to bed until they woke up in the morning. Multiple answers were possible. *p < 0.001 versus ‘midday’, ‘afternoon’, ‘evening’, ‘night’ and ‘'difficult to say’ groups; p = 0.006 versus ‘no particular time of day’ (all COPD patients); ^†p < 0.001 versus ‘midday’, ‘afternoon’, ‘evening’, ‘no particular time of day’ and ‘difficult to say’ groups; p = 0.001 versus ‘night’.

Data are weighted for age and severity.

Figure 1 is correct for all values. This error did not affect the study results or conclusions.
