The publisher regrets in the article: Anticholinergic Drug Burden in Noncancer Versus Cancer Patients Near the End of Life, by Hochman MJ, et  al, JPSM, 52 (5): 737-43, the authors recently discovered coding error within the primary dataset, which impacted secondary analyses that used the dataset. Repeating their analyses with the corrected summary scores did not yield any changes in the overall results, or in the directionality of findi ngs. The only impact is a slight change in some of the specific numbers in the text and tables, and smaller P-values in a few instances.
