Correction: Cost-Effectiveness of Screening Mammography
15 May 1998 | Volume 128 Issue 10 | Page 878
Table 5 of a recent article on the cost-effectiveness of screening mammography in women 40 to 49 years of age [1] contained an error. The Table title should read "Efficacy Required To Achieve Various Levels of Cost-Effectiveness for Women 40 to 49 Years of Age," not "... Women 40 to 59 Years of Age." In addition, the Conclusion section of the abstract should have read "The cost-effectiveness ratio of screening mammography in women 40 to 49 years of age is almost five times that in older women."
