Erratum: Infection following inflatable penile prosthesis placement: a real-world comparison of device selection and patient characteristics
Erratum to: Transl Androl Urol 2025;14:2635-43.
In the published article entitled “Infection following inflatable penile prosthesis placement: a real-world comparison of device selection and patient characteristics” (1), the authors identified an error in the Abstract. Specifically, the P value reported for the comparison of infection rates between AMS 700 and Titan devices reflected the P value from the unadjusted Cox proportional hazards regression analysis rather than the P values from the time-to-event analysis.
The error appears in the Results section of the Abstract.
Original text:
Infection rates were 1.8% (AMS 700) vs. 2.9% (Titan) at 180 days post-IPP and 2.5% (AMS 700) vs. 3.3% (Titan) at a median follow-up of 3 years (P=0.047).
Corrected text:
Infection rates were 1.8% (AMS 700) vs. 2.9% (Titan) at 180 days post-IPP (P=0.001) and 2.5% (AMS 700) vs. 3.3% (Titan) at a median follow-up of 3 years (P=0.01).
The corrected P values correspond to the time-to-event analysis reported in the study. The unadjusted Cox proportional hazards regression result reported in the main manuscript remains unchanged: hazard ratio (HR) 0.74 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.56–0.996; P=0.047]. The adjusted Cox regression result also remains unchanged: HR 0.67 (95% CI: 0.48–0.93; P=0.02). The P value reported for the comparison at a median follow-up of 3 years is 0.012, and truncated per journal’s Guidelines for Authors to 2 decimal places.
This correction does not affect the study findings, interpretation, or conclusions. The authors regret this error.
