Erratum To: Combination of lung ultrasound (a comet-tail sign) and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide in differentiating acute heart failure from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma as cause of acute dyspnea in prehospital emergency setting

Correction

Following publication of our article [1], we noted that Table 2 (1) was published with several incorrect data values. The correct values should be:

Table 2 Univariate analysis for all demographic and clinical variables pertinent to diagnosis of acute HF or pulmonary disease (N = 218)^a

Under the "Pulmonary-related dyspnea" column:

- Sex, males/females (%) should read 65.2/34.8

- Cough, Y/N should read 48/41

- Wheezes, Y/N should read 68/21

- ECG-normal sinus rhythm, Y/N should read 72/17

- Asthma/COPD medications (Y/N) should read 78/11

- Previous asthma/COPD (Y/N) should read 70/19

Under the "Acute HF-related dyspnea" column:

- Sex, males/females (%) should read 57.9/42.1

- Nocturnal dyspnea (Y/N) should read 43/86

- Orthopnea (Y/N) should read 39/90

- Rales (Y/N) should read 76/53

- Jugular venous distension (Y/N) should read 30/99

- HF medications (Y/N) should read 83/46

- Previous AMI (Y/N) should read 45/84

- Previous CHF (Y/N) should read 80/49

- Previous asthma/COPD (Y/N) should read 27/102
