چکیده

In this article by Claire Burton and colleagues (BMJ 2016;355:i6386, doi: 10.1136/bmj.i6386) figure 2 “Decision tree to be used in conjunction with questions about the patient’s history” contained information that was incorrect. The two boxes at the bottom of the figure should read “CTS diagnosed” and not “CTS not diagnosed.” The box “Are 3 or more other questions in answered as yes?” should read: “Are 3 or more other questions answered as yes?” The box “Are 2 other questions in answered as yes?” should read: “Are 2 other questions answered as yes?” In addition, “Motor deficit includes weakness in flexion of the index andmiddle finger andweakness in thumb abduction and opposition.” should read: “Motor deficit can cause patients to experience reduced function of the hand including grip strength.” We apologise for these errors.
