N2 - The authors regret an erroneous translation of a non-English article (Jongen et al., 2001), in which 2 of 4 cases of subacute combined degeneration presented were incorrectly associated with nitrous oxide exposure. It is important to note that while this error occurred, corrections to the paper did not materially impact the results, discussion, or conclusion. We would like to make the following corrections to account for the change in the total number of case reports: 1) In the abstract: a “39 cases…included 22 male patients and 17 female patients, with an average age of 51.3 years (SD 17.6).” should be replaced with “37 cases…included 21 male patients and 16 female patients, with an average age of 50.4 years (SD 17.6).”b “31 reports; of these, 26 were due to vitamin” should be replaced with “30 reports; of these, 25 were due to vitamin”c “age (p = 0.41), sex (p = 0.48), positive MRI findings (p = 0.42), post-operative serum B12 (p = 0.96), post-operative hemoglobin (p = 0.17), type of surgery (p = 0.58), or post-operative high mean corpuscular volume (p = 0.14).” should be replaced with “age (p = 0.60), sex (p = 0.46), positive MRI findings (p = 0.47), post-operative serum B12 (p = 1.00), post-operative hemoglobin (p = 0.18), type of surgery (p = 0.58), or post-operative high mean corpuscular volume (p = 0.13).”2) In Section 3.4.1: a “39 cases…included 22 male patients and 17 female patients, with a mean age (SD) of 51.3 years (17.6).” should be replaced with “37 cases…included 21 male patients and 16 female patients, with a mean age (SD) of 50.4 years (17.6).”b “31 reports, while there was no evidence of pre-operative deficiency in 7 reports” should be replaced with “30 reports, while there was no evidence of pre-operative deficiency in 6 reports.”c “31 reports in which an etiology was identified, 26 were due to vitamin” should be replaced with “30 reports in which an etiology was identified, 25 were due to vitamin”d “age (p = 0.41), sex (p = 0.48), positive MRI findings (p = 0.42), post-operative serum B12 (p = 0.96), post-operative hemoglobin (p = 0.17) or type of surgery (p = 0.58).
