Correction to: Closed Incision Negative Pressure Therapy Versus Standard of Care Over Closed Plastic Surgery Incisions in the Reduction of Surgical Site Complications: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Comparative Studies
In the article Gabriel A, Singh D, Silverman RP, Collinsworth A, Bongards C, Griffin L. Closed incision negative pressure therapy versus standard of care over closed plastic surgery incisions in the reduction of surgical site complications: A systematic review and meta-analysis of comparative studies. Eplasty. 2023;23:e22. Published 2023 Mar 31., the economic model included a miscalculation of the surgical site complication rate for the standard of care group, causing an overestimation in the cost savings attributed to use of ciNPT. This error was corrected and the estimated cost per surgical site complication was slightly reduced in the updated model to reflect recently published estimates. The estimated cost savings attributed to use of ciNPT was incorrectly listed as $904; it has been corrected to $674 throughout the paper. Table 3 has been revised with the updated model inputs and calculations. The original article has been updated to reflect these changes.
