In “Identifying COVID-19 Outbreaks From Contact-Tracing Interview Forms for Public Health Departments: Development of a Natural Language Processing Pipeline” (JMIR Public Health Surveill 2022;8(3):e36119), the authors noted a few errors.
In the originally published paper, the following two sentences appeared under the “Results” section:
Of the 46,798 confirmed and probable cases, only 1588 (3.39%) were probable cases and the remainder were confirmed cases of COVID-19. In Dane County, non-Hispanic Whites accounted for 30,358 (64.87%) of the confirmed and probable cases, and the median age was 30 years (IQR 20-47).
These sentences have been corrected to:
Of the 46,902 confirmed and probable cases, only 1595 (3.40%) were probable cases and the remainder were confirmed cases of COVID-19. In Dane County, non-Hispanic Whites accounted for 30,423 (64.87%) of the confirmed and probable cases, and the median age was 30 years (IQR 20-47).
In the corrected version of the paper, has been updated and can be viewed below. The originally published Table 2 is in .
