The authors recently became aware of a decimal place error in the lower boundary of a confidence interval. The abstract correctly states: “Median time to initial control was 2.7 range (2.0, 9.3) hours and 3.5 range (2.0, 7.4) for F(ab’)2AV and FabAV respectively, difference −0.8 h (95% CI −2.6, 0.9).”
However, the article text incorrectly states: “The median time to initial control was 2.7 range (2.0, 9.3) hours and 3.5 range (2.0, 7.4) for F(ab’)2AV and FabAV respectively, difference −0.8 h (95% CI −0.26, 0.9).”
The correct lower boundary for the difference is −2.6 h, as shown in the updated version of the article. The authors regret any confusion arising from the error.
