RT Journal T1 Incorrect wording in: Will the history and physical examination help establish that irritable bowel syndrome is causing this patient's lower gastrointestinal tract symptoms JF JAMA JO JAMA YR 2009 FD April 15 VO 301 IS 15 SP 1544 OP 1544 DO 10.1001/jama.301.15.1544 UL http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/jama.301.15.1544 AB Incorrect Wording: In The Rational Clinical Examination article entitled “Will the History and Physical Examination Help Establish That Irritable Bowel Syndrome Is Causing This Patient's Lower Gastrointestinal Tract Symptoms?” published in the October 15, 2008, issue of JAMA (2008;300(15):1793-1805), an incorrect word appeared on page 1800. In the fourth paragraph, the first sentence should read, “Since all of the patients in the study by Kruis et al19 had abdominal pain, flatulence, or a change in bowel habit” (replacing and with or). Table 5 presents this correctly.
