In the original publication [1], the wording of the provisional English translation of questionnaire items 5, 7, and 11 in Table 3 contained some linguistic inaccuracies; the wording of these three items has now been corrected. The corrected Table 3 appears below. The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected.

1 The items presented here reflect a culturally adapted provisional English version of the German PEN-13 version. The initial question to the items was “To what extent do you agree with the following statements for you as a patient?”, and the items were as follows: 2 SD—standard deviation; scale 1–5: 1—strongly disagree; 2—disagree; 3—neither/nor; 4—agree; and 5—strongly agree. 3 For each study participant with one to three missing items, these were substituted by the mean of the respondent’s valid items. The bold marking shows the assignment to the factor.
