Corrigendum to A. V. Danielsen, J. J. Andreasen, B. Dinesen, J. Hansen, K. K. Petersen, C. Simonsen, L. Arendt-Nielsen. “Chronic post-thoracotomy pain after lung cancer surgery: a prospective study of preoperative risk factors.” Scand J Pain 2023 Jun 19;23(3):501–510. doi: 10.1515/sjpain-2023-0016. Regrettably, the authors have discovered a significant error regarding the calculation of Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) scores in this article [1]. The error originates from a coding issue in the database management system. The error affects the results presented and the conclusions drawn regarding associations between HADS and development of chronic post-thoracotomy pain (CPTP). After correction of the error, combined HADS is no longer significantly associated with CPTP in the primary analyses, reported in Table 1 and panel D in Figure 3. In secondary analyses, reported in Table 2, the risk estimates in model 4 change slightly and HADS remains non-significant in relation to CPTP risk. Corrected versions of Tables 1 and 2, and Figure 3 are provided below.

Models for each preoperative variable investigated in the study: Pain detection threshold (PDT), conditioned pain modulation (CPM), temporal summation of pain (TSP) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Numbers of patients with complete data included in models are denoted by n. Preoperative pain is pain from any location of any intensity prior to surgery. Surgical approach is by either open anterior muscle sparing thoracotomy or minimally invasive video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). Maximum acute pain is highest reported postoperative NRS on the day of surgery.

Also, in Discussion under the paragraph “Preoperative pain,” the first sentence should read: “Preoperative pain at any location was present in 28% of patients, and was not associated with CPTP in the primary unadjusted analysis, but showed significance in the secondary adjusted risk analyses.”
