LETTER
Correction: Error in Equations
15 February 1997 | Volume 126 Issue 4 | Page 334
In a recent letter on hospital mortality rates [1], the equations were incorrectly typeset. The equations in the third paragraph should be the following: [(29/8) x 100], [(29/366) x 100], and [(29/16) x 100]. The percentages given in the paragraph are correct.
