Huang N, Morlock L, Lee CH, Chen LS, Chou YJ. Antibiotic Prescribing for Children with Nasopharyngitis (Common Colds), Upper Respiratory Infections, and Bronchitis Who Have Health-Professional Parents. PEDIATRICS 2005;116:826–832.
Two errors appeared in the article by Huang et al, titled "Antibiotic Prescribing for Children with Nasopharyngitis (Common Colds), Upper Respiratory Infections, and Bronchitis Who Have Health-Professional Parents" published in the October 2005 issue of Pediatrics(doi:10.1542/peds.2004-2800). On page 827, the third and fourth sentences of the first paragraph of the "Data Sources" section, the authors wrote: "A multistage stratified systematic sampling design according to the degree of urbanization, geographic location, and administrative boundaries was used by the National Health Research Institute to select a representative sample." It should have read as follows: "A random sampling design was used by the National Health Research Institute to select a representative sample." As a result, on page 832, references 47 and 48 corresponding to the design and sampling strategy should have been "National Health Research Institute [Taiwan]. Overview of random samples of NHI beneficiaries: Taiwan. Available at: www.nhri.org.tw/nhird/date_cohort.htm. Accessed February 1, 2005" and "National Health Research Institute [Taiwan]. Comparison of distribution of basic characteristics between four waves of random samples of NHI beneficiaries and the entire population of NHI beneficiaries: Taiwan. Available at: www.nhri.org.tw/nhird/talk_01_8.htm#1. Accessed February 1, 2005"
