Corrigendum

In the article “Lung Ultrasound for Prediction of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia in Extreme Preterm Neonates: A Prospective Diagnostic Cohort Study” by Mohamed et al (J Pediatr 2021;238:187-92), there was an error in representing sensitivity and specificity values in this article in Table II. The correct version of the table appears below. Three sentences also contain errors related to the table error. The third sentence of the results section in the abstract should read “The score of >10 at all 3 time points had higher specificity (0.89, 0.89, and 0.77), sensitivity (0.87, 0.90, and 0.92), and corresponding clinically important positive and negative likelihood ratios.” In the third paragraph of the discussion, sentences four and five should read “Low false positive rate cut-off (high specificity) will allow infants not to be subjected to prophylactic interventions, which have potential for harm (eg, hydrocortisone for prevention of BPD).
