Corrigendum to micronutrient deficiency risk in long-term enterally fed patients: A systematic review. Clin nutrition ESPEN, 52 (2022), 395-420.

The authors regret that an error has been identified in section 1.2 “Does the route by which enteral feeding is provided impact on the development of micronutrient deficiency?“. The second last paragraph of this section as published reads: Six papers described copper deficiency that had developed in jejunally fed patients receiving nutritionally adequate copper provision [21, 26, 32, 36, 38, 43]. No papers describing the provision of adequate copper provision to gastrically fed patients reported the development of deficiency [33, 37]. However, a recent re-review of the source documents indicates that the two case reports outlined in the Oliver et al. paper (reference 38) have been mislabelled in the data extraction database: These relate to gastrically fed, rather than jejunally fed, patients. Furthermore, Johatsu et al. (citation 26) has been reported in the jejunally fed cohort, however this paper doesn't clearly specify the route of feeding. Therefore, to accurately reflect the relevant results, paragraph in question should read: Four case reports described copper deficiency that had developed in jejunally fed patients receiving nutritionally adequate copper provision [21, 32, 36, 43]. Only one [38] of 4 papers [19, 33, 37] that described the provision of adequate copper provision to stated or presumed gastrically fed patients reported the development of copper deficiency. On further checking of the article following identification of these errors, it is confirmed that these papers have been correctly reported in other areas of the results section (i.e., they are correctly cited with regards to numbers of papers reporting route of feeding and in the published and supplementary tables). The authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused. Micronutrient deficiency risk in long-term enterally fed patients: A systematic reviewClinical Nutrition ESPENVol. 52PreviewThe micronutrient status of those receiving long-term enteral nutrition (EN) is poorly characterised. This systematic review was undertaken to determine prevalence of micronutrient deficiency in those receiving EN; the impact of the route of feeding; whether underlying disease or clinical factors were associated with micronutrient status; and the efficacy of interventions utilised to treat identified micronutrient deficiency.
