Corrigendum to ‘European risk models for morbidity (EuroLung1) and mortality (EuroLung2) to predict outcome following anatomic lung resections: an analysis from the European Society of Thoracic Surgeons database’ [Eur J Cardiothorac Surg 2017;51:490-497]†

The authors bring to the attention of the readers that there is an error in the coefficient of the intercept of the Eurolung2 logistic mortality model reported in Table 6 and on page 5 under the paragraph Analysis of Mortality. The correct intercept coefficient for the Eurolung2 logistic mortality model should read -5.82 instead of -5.029. As a consequence the logit of Eurolung2 is the following: -5.82 + 0.903Xsex male (coded 1 for male and 0 for female) + 0.044Xage + 0.264XCAD (coded 1 for presence of CAD) + 0.582XCVD (coded 1 for presence of CVD) -0.064XBMI + 0.300Xextended resection (coded 1 for extended resection) + 0.929X pneumonectomy (coded 1 for pneumonectomy and 0 for lesser resection) + 0.894Xthoracotomy (coded 1 for thoracotomy and 0 for VATS) - 0.009XppoFEV1.
