Arch Intern Med. 2007;167(9):965.

Error in Table Footnote. In the Original Investigation by Bang et al titled "SCreening for Occult REnal Disease (SCORED): A Simple Prediction Model for Chronic Kidney Disease," published in the February 26 issue of the ARCHIVES (2007;167:374-381), there was an error in the double dagger footnote to Table 3. An intercept term was missing in the original formula. Therefore, the first sentence of that footnote should have read as follows: "Probability (CKD) = 1/[1 + exp(–β' x x)], where β' x x = –5.4 + 1.55 x I(age of 50-59 years) + 2.31 x I(age of 60-69 years) + 3.23 x I(age 70 years) + 0.29 x I(female) + 0.93 x I(anemia) + 0.45 x I(hypertension) + 0.44 x I(DM) + 0.59 x I(history of CVD) + 0.45 x I(history of CHF) + 0.74 x I(PVD) + 0.83 x I(proteinuria), where I(a) is an indicator taking 1 for event a and 0 otherwise." We regret the error.
