Simple Explanation

This is a correction to a previously published article regarding the naming of 'paraplegia' and 'tetraplegia' groups in the results and tables. The correction involves swapping the terms 'paraplegia' and 'tetraplegia' in Table 1 and Table 2 to align with the correct corresponding values. In the Results section, the description of participants was changed from 'tetraplegia (60.77% after missing data imputation)' to 'paraplegia (60.77% after missing data imputation)'.

Key Findings

1
The correction addresses an error in the naming of paraplegia and tetraplegia groups.
2
Table 1 has been corrected to accurately reflect 'Tetraplegia (C1-C8)/paraplegia (T1-S5)'.
3
Table 2 was corrected by swapping 'Paraplegia' and 'Tetraplegia' to reflect the correct corresponding values.

Research Summary

This correction pertains to an error in a previously published article concerning the classification of participants with spinal cord injuries as either paraplegia or tetraplegia. The errors were present in Tables 1 and 2, as well as in the Results section, specifically related to the proportion of participants identified as having tetraplegia. The correction involves swapping the labels for paraplegia and tetraplegia in the tables and adjusting the description of the participant group in the Results section to ensure accuracy.

Practical Implications

Data Accuracy

Ensures accurate interpretation of the original study's findings by correcting mislabeled groups.

Research Integrity

Maintains the integrity of the published research by addressing and correcting errors.

Future Research

Provides a corrected dataset for future meta-analyses and reviews.

Study Limitations

1
The correction only addresses the specific error in labeling paraplegia and tetraplegia.
2
The correction does not change the interpretation of the data, suggesting the initial error did not significantly alter the study's conclusions.
3
The full impact of the original error, if any, on subsequent research or clinical practice is not discussed.
