Prophylaxis for Thromboembolism in Hospitalized Medical Patients (Clinical Practice, N Engl J Med 2007:356;1438 - 1444) . The fourth sentence of the sixth paragraph under the Anticoagulant Prophylaxis heading (page 1441) should have read “Fatal pulmonary embolism occurred in five patients in the placebo group and in none in the fonaparinux group; mortality at 1 month was 6.0% and 3.3%, respectively (P=0.06)” rather than “mortality at 1 month was 3.3% and 6.0%.” The text has been corrected on the Journal's Web site at www.nejm.org.
