Following publication of the original article [1], we were notified that the brackets defining equivocal scores were interpreted as numbered references in Production:

The sentence:

For patients receiving LMMBV + SOC, diagnosis was based on the LMMBV score, such that patients with scores from 0 to 35 would not be given antibiotics, patients with scores from 65 to 100 would be given antibiotics, and those with equivocal scores [24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54] would be managed as per SOC.”

Should read:

For patients receiving LMMBV + SOC, diagnosis was based on the LMMBV score, such that patients with scores from 0–35 would not be given antibiotics, patients with scores from 65–100 would be given antibiotics, and those with equivocal scores (35–65) would be managed as per SOC.”

The original article has been corrected.
