Abstract

The authors would like to draw attention to three errors in the following article.
Pinheiro AP, Keefe RSE, Skelly T, Olarte M, Leviel K, Lange LA, Lange EM, Stroup TS, Lieberman J, Sullivan PF. Rates of depressive and anxiety disorders in a residential mother–infant unit for unsettled infants, Aust N Z J Psychiatry 2007; 41: 836–842.
First, the method section of the Abstract should state that there were “one hundred and sixty seven” and not “one hundred and sixty” participants in the study. Second, it was not mentioned that specific phobias were not included in the calculation for “any anxiety disorder” (page 841, Table 4). Third, the sensitivity, specificity and negative predictive values reported for the EPDS should have read 71.4%, 80.5% and 89.2%, respectively (page 838).
