JAMA. 1998;279:1614.

In The Rational Clinical Examination entitled "Does This Patient Have Deep Vein Thrombosis?" published in the April 8, 1998, issue of THE JOURNAL (1998;279:1094-1099), wording in a table was incorrect. On page 1096, in Table 5, the sentence that reads "Scoring method: high probability if 3 major points and no alternative diagnosis, 2 major points and 2 minor points and no alternative diagnosis; low probability if 1 major point and 2 minor points and an alternative diagnosis, 1 major point and 1 minor point and no alternative diagnosis, 0 major points and 3 minor points and an alternative diagnois, 0 major points and 2 minor points and no alternative diagnosis; and moderate probability if all other combinations" should have read as follows: "Scoring method: high probability if 3 major points and no alternative diagnosis, 2 major points and 2 minor points and no alternative diagnosis; low probability if 1 major point and 2 minor points and an alternative diagnosis, 1 major point and 1 minor point and no alternative diagnosis, 0 major points and 3 minor points and an alternative diagnosis, 0 major points and 2 minor points and no alternative diagnosis; and moderate probability if all other combinations."
