Benefits and limitations of laboratory diagnostic pathways
-
Georg Hoffmann
In Diagnosis 2014;1(4):269–276, DOI 10.1515/dx-2014-0045, under ‘Acknowledgments’ the authors mention that “Figure 2 is the English reproduction of a German original published in ref. 5.” This is inaccurate and a technical error, which unfortunately occurred when the references were re-numbered during typesetting. Instead, reference 5 is a paper by Srivastava et al. ‘Reflex and reflective testing: efficiency and effectiveness of adding on laboratory tests’ published in Ann Clin Biochem. Figure 2 was not from this paper but from Reference 4, as correctly stated in the legend of the Figure. Therefore, the sentence in the ‘Acknowledgments’ should read correctly: Figure 2 is the English reproduction of a German original published in ref. 4.
