Abstract

The authors regret that during ongoing research into optimizing care for patients with gallstones, an error was detected in the result section of a recent publication in HPB. We reported an incorrect percentage of Textbook Outcome. In the article: “A mixed-methods study to define Textbook Outcome for the treatment of patients with uncomplicated symptomatic gallstone disease with hospital variation analyses in Dutch trial data”,1 we reported on the percentage of patients with Textbook Outcome after laparoscopic cholecystectomy and after conservative management for gallstone disease. The reported percentages of Textbook Outcome rates were 76.1 % for patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy and 64.1 % for patients who underwent conservative therapy (P < .001). We notified that the reported percentages are incorrect. The correct percentages are 67.9 % (763/1124) for patients who underwent surgery and 54.7 % (239/437) for patients who underwent conservative therapy (P < .001). Although the accurate percentages are lower for both groups, the correct numbers do not affect the conclusion of the study. Reporting this flaw represents the correct results of this study and makes it possible to report on further research into the predictive factors for Textbook Outcome in this large group of patients with gallstone disease. This erratum to the published data aligns with our commitment to upholding scientific accuracy and transparency in our research. The authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.
