The Clinical Relevancy Statement in “Early Jejunal Feeding Initiation and Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Severe Acute Pancreatitis,” which published in the January 2011 issue, did not appear correctly.

The Clinical Relevancy Statement should have appeared as:

This study investigated the association between early initiation and reaching goal of enteral feeding and clinical outcome in patients with severe acute pancreatitis. The current study findings suggest that early enteral feeding is associated with favorable clinical outcomes in patients with severe acute pancreatitis. Initiating early enteral feeding is associated with less mortality and reaching goal enteral feeding is associated with shorter length of intensive care unit stay. The study also underscores the association between obesity, delayed time to reach goal enteral feeding and poor clinical outcome in patients with severe acute pancreatitis.
