Reducing Mortality from Colorectal Cancer by Screening for Fecal Occult Blood (Original Article, N Engl J Med 1993:328;1365 - 1371) . On page 1370, in Table 6, the second footnote should have read, “Sensitivity was defined as the number of true positive results divided by the sum of true positive results and false negative results,” not “true negative results,” as printed. We regret the error.
