Erratum: Living well with dementia: a systematic review and correlational meta-analysis of factors associated with quality of life, well-being and life satisfaction in people with dementia - CORRIGENDUM (Psychological medicine (2018) 48 13 (2130-2139))

Abstract

Two errors have been identified in the analysis reported in the above article.

Figure 1: The number of studies included in quantitative synthesis (meta-analysis) was 198 rather than 199.

Figure 2: The authors reanalysed data for “Presence of religious beliefs/spirituality” as it was noticed that three data points were entered into the meta-analysis software with incorrect direction. The meta-analysis effect size originally reported was r = 0.35 (95% CI 0.12, 0.55), p = .0035, I 2 = 88.453, (I 2 was included in Supplementary Table 13a only). Reanalysis indicated a correct effect size of: r = 0.15 (−0.12, 0.15), p = .8280, I 2 = 62.101. Therefore, presence of religious beliefs/spirituality had a negligible association with better quality of life, rather than a moderate association as originally stated (p.2134).

The authors apologise for these errors.
