Corrigendum to ‘Inpatient Resource Utilization and Cost Burden of Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism in the United States’ Clin Ther 2015;37:62–70

Our article is an analysis of the State Inpatient Database (SID), a restricted-access, publicly available dataset that is maintained by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). One of the provisions of the SID Data Use Agreement (DUA) is that no data observation involving less than or equal to 10 observations is to be published. This measure was put in place by AHRQ to protect individual patients’ privacy and to prevent the potential disclosure of personal information. The authors regret that in our manuscript, there are some tabulated cells that are in violation of this provision. This represents an oversight on our part and an inadvertent failure to comply with the Data Use Agreement. For this, we apologize. While we are fully confident that nothing in our paper could be used to identify individuals or their personal information, the fact remains that the disclosures are in violation of the AHRQ guidelines. Please see updated Tables VIII and IX below. The authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused.
