Corrigendum to “Temperature control after adult cardiac arrest: An updated systematic review and meta-analysis" [Resuscitation 191 (2023)109928]

The authors regret, that during their work creating Consensus on Science with Treatment Recommendations (CoSTRs) for ILCOR they discovered three data errors. This corrigendum addresses these data errors in the article.¹ 1) In eTable 4 and in the abstract, we have reported the odds ratio from the meta-analysis instead of the risk ratio for favorable neurological outcome at 90 or 180 days. The correction of this error changes the estimate from an odds ratio of 1.27 (95% CI: 0.89 to 1.81) to a risk ratio of 1.16 (95% CI: 0.92 to 1.47). The overall conclusion of the manuscript was not affected by the error. 2) In eTable 5, the pooled risk ratio for a favorable neurological outcome at 180 days was based on a random effects analysis instead of an intended fixed effect analysis, as reported in the corresponding eFigure 9. The correction of this error changes the estimate from a risk ratio of 1.22 (95% CI: 0.61 to 2.45) to 1.01 (95% CI: 0.88 to 1.15). The updated estimate changes the certainty in the evidence for this outcome from very low to low due to less serious imprecision. 3) In eFigure 8 of the supplemental content, instead of 130 total events in the study by Wolfrum it should have been 120 total events ². The correction of the number of total events changes the estimate from a risk ratio of 1.14 [95% CI: 0.75 to 1.72]) (Fig. 1) to 1.21 [95% CI: 0.80 to 1.83]) (Fig. 2). The effect estimate was further from the null but did not change the significance of the result. This was an isolated error to the mentioned figure and does not affect the original manuscript.
