The authors regret that they mistakenly listed the wrong data in the methods section of the abstract of this article. The second sentence of the methods section should read: “The study group was composed of 324 patients (152 non–English-speaking and 172 English-speaking) presenting with nontraumatic abdominal pain (148) or chest pain (176)”

The authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.
