In a recent review article,1 a study was mistakenly listed inAppendix 1 as having been excluded from the authors' meta-analysisbecause of "acute diarrhea not associated with use of antibiotictherapy," when the true reason for exclusion was that the studyin question was not randomized. We regret this error.
