Expand All Collapse All

​Gardner LA, Pagano M. Skin integrity, immobility, and pressure ulcers in class III obese patients. Pa Patient Saf Advis [online] 2013 Jun [cited 2013 Nov 25]. http://patientsafety.pa.gov/ADVISORIES/Pages/201306_50.aspx

This article contained statements in error on pages 50 and 54 that needs correction about the definition of a class III obese patient. The statements should indicate that class III obese patients are identified as having a body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to 40 or weighing 100 pounds or greater than their ideal body weight. This correction has been made to the online version of the article. The editor regrets the error.
