Data Inaccuracies in Text and Tables

In the Research Letter titled “Prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 Antibodies in Health Care Personnel in the New York City Area,” published online first on August 6, 2020, and in the September 1, 2020, issue of JAMA, there were inaccuracies that resulted from a coding error. The errors, once corrected, affect the relative risks and 95 % CIs for the associations reported in the tables. Working in direct patient care (but not intensive care) is now significant in bivariable but not multivariable analysis, and several demographic variables (including increasing age and non-White race or ethnicity) that were previously reported as no t associated with seroprevalence are now significantly associated in multivariable analysis. The authors have explained the errors and corrections in a Letter, and the Research Letter has been corrected online.
