Erratum
First published: 12 May 2009
In the article by Hoeger et al.1 an error was published in Table 1. The days studied for the vehicle group should read 1138, and not 11 380 as was published.

- ID, incidence density of an adverse event (AE) (which had a crude incidence rate of ≥ 2%) per 1000 patient-days = number of occurrences of that AE, divided by the total number of days during which patients were studied, multiplied by 1000.
The correct version of Table 1 is shown below:
We apologise for the error.
