Abstract
There are two errors in the published study, “How Successful Is Antibiotic Treatment for Superficial Surgical Site Infections After Open Fracture? A Fluid Lavage of Open Wounds (FLOW) Cohort Secondary Analysis”. The CI range in the Results section of the Abstract is incorrect as published. The sentence should be: “After controlling for potential confounding variables, such as age, fracture severity, and time from injury to initial surgical irrigation and debridement, superficial SSIs diagnosed later in follow-up were associated with antibiotics not resolving the SSI (odds ratio 1.05 [95% CI 1.002 to 1.10] for every week of follow-up; p = 0.04).” Additionally, the CI range in the first sentence under the Factors Associated with Antibiotics Not Resolving Superficial SSIs subhead in the Results section is incorrect. The sentence should be: After controlling for potential confounding variables such as age, fracture severity, and time from injury to initial surgical irrigation and débridement, superficial SSIs that were diagnosed later in follow-up were associated with antibiotics not resolving the SSI (OR 1.05 [95% CI 1.002 to 1.10] for every week of follow-up; p = 0.04). Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research® apologizes for the errors.
