Corrigendum to “Falls and Fractures in the Elderly with Sinus Node Disease: The Impact of Pacemaker Implantation”
In the article titled “Falls and Fractures in the Elderly with Sinus Node Disease: The Impact of Pacemaker Implantation” [1], there was an error regarding the FRAX® tool, which should be clarified as follows:
The article notes: “FRAX is a fracture risk calculator which was developed by the WHO and calibrated for single countries (more than 50 country versions available to date) based on local fracture epidemiological data.” However, the World Health Organization (WHO) did not develop, test, or endorse the FRAX tool or its recommendations [2]. The metabolic bone disease unit at the University of Sheffield that developed FRAX was a WHO Collaborating Centre from 1991 to 2010, but treatment guidelines must undergo a formal process before they can be endorsed by the WHO.
