Corrections
When we get something wrong, we fix it, date it and say what changed. We never silently edit a number. Every correction to a published fact is listed below.

No published fact has needed a correction so far. When one does, it is listed here with the date, the page, what changed and the source that prompted it.
How a report is handled
01
Checked against the source
An editor compares the reported text with the cited source, and with any source you send.
02
Urgent if it is a number
Dose, unit and calculator errors go straight to our medical reviewer.
03
Fixed and dated
Confirmed errors are fixed, dated and listed here. The page’s review date is updated.
The full process is in our editorial policy and methodology.
