In the article entitled “Validation and modification of HEART score components for patients with chest pain in the emergency department,” [1] the data collection period for MACE incidence was incorrectly stated as “MACE incidence within the previous 3 months” in the “Data collection” section under METHODS. It has been corrected to “MACE incidence within 3 months.”

Before correction

Data on patients’ baseline characteristics (sex, age, smoking, familial history of coronary artery disease [CAD], aspirin use in the past 7 days), underlying disease (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity, dyslipidemia, atherosclerotic disease), initial vital signs (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate), history, initial troponin-I level, ECG results, HEART score, and MACE incidence within the previous 3 months were obtained and evaluated retrospectively.

After correction

Data on patients’ baseline characteristics (sex, age, smoking, familial history of coronary artery disease [CAD], aspirin use in the past 7 days), underlying disease (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity, dyslipidemia, atherosclerotic disease), initial vital signs (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate), history, initial troponin-I level, ECG results, HEART score, and MACE incidence within 3 months were obtained and evaluated retrospectively.
