Correction to: BMC Nursing (2023) 22:208
Following publication of the original article [1], the authors reported that “grade” was missing from “grade≥” in the 6 parts of the article content. The correct sentences are given below and the changes have been highlighted in bold typeface.
Abstract
No significant statistical difference was observed for the major pulmonary complications (grade ≥ 3) between the two groups (p = 0.286).
Outcome
Additional outcomes included the severity score and incidence of major pulmonary complications (grade ≥ 3).
Severity of PPCs
Although the incidence of major pulmonary complications (grade ≥ 3) was higher in the non-ONN group than in the ONN group (2.1% vs. 1.1%), the differences were not significant (p = 0.286).
Discussion
Although no statistical difference found between the two groups (p = 0.286), major pulmonary complications (grade ≥ 3) were numerically higher in the non-ONN group, potentially indicating the positive effects achieved by ONN.
Conclusions
In conclusion, ONN can potentially improve the treatment outcome of terminal diseases by reducing the incidence and severity of PPCs, but there was no evidence of its influence on the occurrence of major pulmonary complications (grade ≥ 3).
The original article [1] has been corrected.
