We would like to apologise for an error that occured in the paper Oxygen therapy for infants with chronic lung disease by S Kotecha and J Allen (Arch Dis Child Fetal Neonatal Ed2002;87:F11–F14OpenUrlAbstract/FREE Full Text). The following sentence, under the heading Weaning from home oxygen, should have read: Vermeulen et al showed that infants who could be weaned from oxygen had awake median saturations of 97% during one hour awake studies, spent only 14% of time with saturation ≤ 95% and 2% of time ≤ 92%.
