corrections Follow-up of Glycemic Control and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes (June 4, 2015;372:2197-206). The expression “the time to the first major cardiovascular event” should have been simply “major cardiovascular events,” with no mention of time, in three places: the second sentence of the final paragraph of the Introduction (page 2198), the second sentence in the first paragraph of the Discussion (page 2201), and the first sentence in the final paragraph of the Discussion (page 2205). The article is correct at NEJM.org. Integrated Ambulatory Specialist Care — Germany’s New Health Care Sector (May 7, 2015;372:1781-5). In the table (page 1782), under Access, the value for “No. of physicians per 1000 population in 2011” should have been 3.8, rather than blank; under “Prevalence of chronic disease,” the percentage given for “Diabetes in persons ≥18 yr of age in 2014” should have been 7.9, rather than 20.1; and under “Prevalence of risk factors,” the first entry should have been “Obesity in adults ≥18 yr of age in 2013,” rather than “. . . in 2014,” the fourth entry should have been “Smoking in persons ≥15 yr of age in 2013,” rather than “Smoking in 2011,” and the percentage in the smoking row should have been 24.5, rather than 30. The article is correct at NEJM.org.
