JAMA. 1999;281:136.

In the Original Contribution entitled "Management of Pain in Elderly Patients With Cancer" published in the June 17, 1998, issue of THE JOURNAL (1998;279:1877-1882), there was incorrect wording in the abstract and in the text. On page 1877, under "Results" in the abstract, the fourth sentence should have read "Patients aged 85 years and older were less likely to receive morphine or other strong opiates than those aged 65 to 74 years (13% vs 38%, respectively)." On page 1880, in the first column, the last sentence should have read "Patients aged 85 years and older received morphine or other strong opiates one third less frequently than patients aged 65 to 74 years (13% vs 38%, respectively; P<.001)."
