In the Original Investigation titled “Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Preferences of
People Receiving Dialysis,”[1] published August 24, 2020, 2 surveys from 3 study participants were
erroneously included in the analyses. After excluding the results of the second survey
for each of these 3 participants, 1592 patients were approached, 1431 were invited to
participate, 1006 agreed to participate, and 873 (61.0%) were included in the corrected
analyses. The corrected analyses resulted in changes to numerators, denominators,
percentages, and effect sizes throughout the text and tables; most results differ from
the original article by less than 1 decimal point. In addition, the omnibus
P value for the association of time on dialysis with preference for
cardiopulmonary resuscitation did not reach the threshold for statistical significance
in the corrected analyses; the correct P value is .052. Thus,
self-reported participant preference for cardiopulmonary resuscitation was not
associated with receiving dialysis for longer periods. This article has been
corrected.[1] In
addition, 1 number was corrected in the related Invited Commentary.[2]
