Text Correction

There was an error in the original publication regarding the calculation of extra-abdominal causes for abdominal pain. The prevalence of extra-abdominal causes should be calculated as follows: in 162 of 480 (34%) patients, an extra-abdominal cause was the main reason for the presentation of abdominal pain. However, the prevalence of extra-abdominal diagnoses overall was higher: 239 of 556 (43%) diagnoses were of extra-abdominal origin.

A correction has been made to Results, 3.4. Extra-Abdominal Diagnoses:

In total, 239 (43%) extra-abdominal diagnoses were made, the most frequent ones being of urogenital and pulmonary origin. Nineteen (5%) AP presentations were due to pulmonary problems in younger patients, with 20 (11.2%) of these being in patients 65 years old and older. Psychiatric diagnoses (F-codes according to ICD-10) were made in 17 (4.5%) cases in younger patients, compared to 3 (1.7%) cases in older patients. Three different pulmonary entities were among the top 20 underlying conditions. Six (1.6%) AP presentations were due to underlying cancer in younger patients, compared to nine (5%) in older patients. Of all 15 presentations due to cancer, 4 were due to a newly diagnosed cancer, and 11 were due to the relapse, deterioration, or complications of a previously known cancer. Twenty diagnoses were responsible for 63% of all diagnoses (see Table 2).
