Corrections

Clear corrections are part of useful health publishing.

01

How to report an error

Provide the page URL, the exact statement or interaction you believe is wrong, the reason, and a reliable supporting source. Use the Contact page for the current channel status; never send medical records or other sensitive personal data.

02

How updates are assessed

The editorial team checks the cited evidence, publication date, population, outcome, and whether the issue changes the practical meaning of the page. A disagreement is not resolved by hiding the original source or inventing an expert quotation.

03

How updates are shown

Substantive factual changes should update the modified date and include a correction note. Minor spelling, formatting, or accessibility repairs do not receive artificial freshness signals.
