Following publication of the original article [1], an error in reference 18 was reported.

Reference 18 did not include all authors. The correct reference should read: Romo RD, Lynn J. The utility and value of the “surprise question” for patients with serious illness. Can Med Assoc J. 2017;189(33):E1072–3.
