Correction

In the article ‘The South African Surgical Outcomes Study: A 7-day prospective observational cohort study’ by Biccard et al., which appeared on pp. 465 - 475 of the June 2015 SAMJ, there was an error in the ‘Conflict of interest section: R Machekano and not R Moreno received payment for statistical analyses for SASOS from SASOS grant funds for the submitted work. In Appendix 3, T Kisten was omitted as a SASOS investigator for Inkosi Albert Luthuli Central Hospital, KwaZulu-Natal Province. The online version of the article (http://dx.doi. org/10.7196/SAMJ.9435) was corrected on 31 August 2015.
