There is a graphical representation error in Figure 3 on page 493. The arrows pointing to the curves for female and male are reversed. The corrected Figure 3 appears below. The authors regret the error.

The following references were omitted from the reference list:

6. Marantz PR, Alderman MH, Tobin JN. Diagnostic heterogeneity in clinical trials for congestive heart failure. Ann Intern Med 1988;109:55–61.
The addition of these citations re-orders the reference list, altering the numbers of citations in the text. We regret the error.

The legends for Figures 2 and 3 were transposed.
The correct legends for Figures 2 and 3 are as follows:
Figure 2. Hospital readmission-free survival in patients with advanced congestive heart failure (censorship is represented by vertical bars).
Figure 3. Survival of patients with advanced congestive heart failure (including index hospitalization mortality) (censorship is represented by vertical bars).
Furthermore, line 4 in the RESULTS section in the condensed abstract on p. 734 should read as follows: "Patients were admitted to hospital 2.05 times per year (50.3% of these for worsening heart failure)."
Finally, on page 737, under "Incidence and patient characteristics" heading, lines 23–24, should read as follows: "Attributable causes of CHF included CHD (n = 231; 46.3%) (history of MI in 202 patients [87.4%]) and non-CHD causes (n = 268; 53.6%) (congenital heart disease [n = 3], valvular heart disease [n = 47], dilated cardiomyopathy [n = 214], unknown causes [n = 4]).
The authors regret the errors.
