Erratum to: Timing, prevalence, determinants and outcomes of homelessness among patients admitted to acute psychiatric wards

In the original publication of this article, there was an error in the calculation of category-based estimates for the effect of age bands on the odds of homelessness, leading to an overestimation of the estimated odds ratio of each ageband relative to the baseline ageband (56–65 years).

In Table 2 the odds ratio and 95% confidence interval for age 16–25 years should be 2.9 (2.1, 4.1); for age 26–35 years, it should be 2.2 (1.7, 2.9); for age 36–45 it should be 1.7 (1.4, 2.0); and for age 46–55 it should be 1.3 (1.2, 1.4). Although the odds of homelessness do decline with age and the level of statistical significance is as described (p < 0.0001), the rate of decline cannot be described as ‘steep’, as in the original Results section.
