Correction to “The outcomes of endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition for small focal liver lesions measuring ≤2 cm”

Abstract

Takano Y, Tamai N, Yamawaki M et al. The outcomes of endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition for small focal liver lesions measuring ≤2 cm. DEN Open 2025; 5: e70031.

1. In the abstract section, the next “The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy rates were 96.8%, 100%, and 96.8%, respectively, in the ≤2 cm group and 97.4%, 100%, and 97.4%, respectively, in the >2 cm group, with no significant differences between the groups. There was no difference in adverse events between the groups (0% in the ≤2 cm group and 2.3% in the >2 cm group).” was incorrect.

This should have read: “The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy rates were 96.5%, 100%, and 96.8%, respectively, in the ≤2 cm group and 97.2%, 100%, and 97.4%, respectively, in the >2 cm group, with no significant differences between the groups. There was no difference in adverse events between the groups (0% in the ≤2 cm group and 2.5% in the >2 cm group). ” (Please correct the underlined numbers.)

2. In the result outcomes of the EUS-TA section, the next “The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy rates of EUS-TA were 96.8%, 100%, and 96.8%, respectively, in the ≤2 cm group and 97.4%, 100%, and 97.4%, respectively, in the >2cm group, with no significant differences between the two size groups. Moreover, there was no difference in adverse events between the two groups. There were two cases (2.3%) of mild abdominal pain in the >2 cm group, but the pain resolved spontaneously.” was incorrect

This should have read: “The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy rates of EUS-TA were 96.5%, 100%, and 96.8%, respectively, in the ≤2 cm group and 97.2%, 100%, and 97.4%, respectively, in the >2 cm group, with no significant differences between the two size groups. Moreover, there was no difference in adverse events between the two groups. There were two cases (2.5%) of mild abdominal pain in the >2 cm group, but the pain resolved spontaneously.” (Please correct the underlined numbers.)
