ERRATUM
Numerical errors occurred in the article by Holt et al, titled "Response to Intravenous Immunoglobulin Predicts Splenectomy Response in Children With Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura," that was published in the January 2003 issue of Pediatrics (2003;111:8790). On page 88, right column (fourth paragraph of the "Response to IVIG" section), the second sentence currently reads: "Response to IVIG was a sensitive predictor of response to splenectomy in 91%of patients, with a specificity of 66%, a positive predictive value of 87%, and a negative predictive value of 75%." It should read: "Response to IVIG was a sensitive predictor of response to splenectomy in 88% of patients, with a specificity of 75%, a positive predictive value of 91%, and a negative predictive value of 67%."
