Artesunate versus quinine in the treatment of severe falciparum malaria in African children (AQUAMAT): an open-label, randomised trial. Lancet 2010; 376: 1647–57—In this Article (Nov 13), the row in table 2 for death or sequelae at 28 days in the quinine group should have been: 316/2695 (11·7%). In table 1, the data in parentheses for coma depth are IQR. The last line of the legend for figure 3 should have read: “I 2 denotes the percentage of total variation across subgroups resulting from heterogeneity rather than chance, with the p value of significance”. The title of figure 5 should have read: “Meta-analysis of all randomised controlled trials that have compared mortality of severe malaria in patients treated with parenteral artesunate versus parenteral quinine 12–16 ”.
