Correction-to-Byline-in--Deaths-Related-to-Bronchi

Pdf Summary

The document outlines corrections made to two articles previously published in the journal "CHEST." <br /><br />The first correction pertains to the article "Tracheobronchopathy From Inhaled Corticosteroids" published in December 2017. An error was identified in Table 1 of the article, where the doses of specific inhaled corticosteroids were incorrect. The corrected doses were provided in the erratum, specifically for beclometasone dipropionate, budesonide, mometasone furoate, and triamcinolone acetonide. Additionally, the title of the table was corrected to clarify its purpose as a guide for prescribing physicians to identify what should be considered a "high-dose" inhaled corticosteroid rather than strict dose equivalence.<br /><br />The second correction involves the article "Deaths Related to Bronchial Arterial Embolization in Patients With Cystic Fibrosis: Three Cases and an Institutional Review," published in 2016. The authors reported that Eric J. Monroe, MD, should have been listed as the second author. This correction has been updated in the online version of the article.<br /><br />Table 1 from the "Tracheobronchopathy From Inhaled Corticosteroids" article features the estimated clinical comparability of corticosteroid doses for adults. The corrected table lists low, medium, and high doses for various inhaled corticosteroids, considering factors like the formulation (dry powder inhaler or hydrofluoroalkane propellant), and notes that higher doses can contribute to bronchopathy, emphasizing the importance for patients who have been previously exposed to these medications.<br /><br />These corrections have been amended and are now also updated in the online versions of the articles.
