Correction: Predicting hospitalised paediatric pneumonia mortality risk: An external validation of risc and mrisc, and local tool development (RISC-Malawi) from malawi (PLoS ONE (2016) 11: 12 (e0168126) DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0168126)

Abstract

In the Local score development (RISC-Malawi) subsection of the Results section, there is an error in the model equation following the second paragraph. The correct equation is: Log odds of in-hospital mortality = -4.67 + (moderate hypoxemia x 0.43) + (severe hypoxemia x 1.62) + (moderately malnourished x 0.55) + (severely malnourished x 1.53) + (female sex x 0.22) + (wheeze x -0.35) + (unconsciousness x 1.74).
