A Correction on
Quality of life and associated factors among patients with cancer receiving chemotherapy at Dessie Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, North-East Ethiopia: a cross-sectional study

By Bayked EM, Yimam MG, Yalew ZM, Toleha HN and Zewdie S (2024). Front. Oncol. 13:1288166. doi: 10.3389/fonc.2023.1288166

In the published article, under the methods subsection, i.e., data processing and analysis, “Equation 6” is not correct, which was:

“ M e a n Q L Q_{C 30} s u m m a r y s c o r e = \frac{\sum (F u n c t i o n a l s c a l e s) - \sum (100 - s y m p t o m s c a l e s) ”}{13}

The error happened because we accidentally used the “minus” sign instead of the “plus” sign, although we applied the correct computation to calculate the mean QLQ_C30 summary score.

The correct formula is:

\begin{array}{l} “ M e a n Q L Q_{C 30} s u m m a r y s c o r e = \frac{\sum (F u n c t i o n a l s c a l e s) + \sum (100 - s y m p t o m s c a l e s) ”}{13} & (6) \end{array}

The original version of this article has been updated.
