Correction to: Mercadante S, Prestia G, Casuccio A. The use of sublingual fentanyl for breakthrough pain by using doses proportional to opioid basal regimen. Curr Med Res Opin 2013;29:1527-32
Following publication of this article, errors have been identified in the Abstract and the Results section. In the Abstract, ‘FBT’ was printed in error and should have read ‘SLF’ (sublingual fentanyl). The corrected sentence is shown below.
When compared to younger adult patients, older patients received significantly lower doses of SLF (p < 0.0005), similarly to their lower basal opioid regimen.
In the Results section, ‘fentanyl buccal tablet (FBT)’ should have read ‘SLF’. The corrected sentence is shown below.
When compared to younger adult patients, older patients received significantly lower doses of SLF (p < 0.0005).
These errors did not affect the study results or conclusions.
