abstract="In this paper by Archer and colleagues (BMJ 2022;379:e070918; doi:10.1136/bmj-2022-070918, published 8 November 2022) several errors occurred during its preparation.  Abstract  Main outcome measures: The second sentence should state: Model development was conducted using a Fine-Gray approach in data from CPRD GOLD, accounting for the competing risk of death from other causes, with subsequent recalibration at &quot;five and 10 years&quot; using pseudo values.   Results: The third sentence should state: Upon external validation, the recalibrated model showed good discrimination, with pooled C statistics of &quot;0.843 (95% confidence interval 0.841 to 0.844) and 0.833 (0.831 to 0.835)&quot; at five and 10 years, respectively.  Figures 7 and 8  Figure 7: The labelling of the decision curves was inadvertently transposed--the top panel shows the results for five years, the bottom panel for 10 years.   Figure 8: The authors identified an error in the analysis code used to generate figure 8.  Results: Clinical utility analysis  The final paragraph should state: In analyses comparing the risk of falls with the risk of cardiovascular disease in CPRD GOLD, &quot;1725 (0.1%)&quot; patients had a high risk of falls (>10%) but low risk of cardiovascular disease (<10%) at 10 years (fig 8). A further &quot;324 884 (18.3%)&quot; patients were classified as high risk of both, and &quot;607 228 (34.2%)&quot; had a low falls risk but high risk of cardiovascular disease.  Discussion: Implications for policy and practice  The third sentence before the end should state: We examined the prevalence of this scenario in our model development population (fig 8) and identified only &quot;a small&quot; number of individuals &quot;(0.1%)&quot; who would be classified in this way, when comparing risks at 10 years.
