dc.description.abstractThe correct sentences are “In the base-case analysis, misoprostol distribution lowered the expected incidence of PPH by 1.2% (95% credibility interval (CrI): 0.55%, 1.95%), mortality by 0.08% (95% CrI: 0.04%, 0.13%) and DALYs by 0.02 (95% CrI: 0.01, 0.03).” and “ICERs were US$181 (95% CrI: 81, 443) per DALY averted from a governmental perspective, and US$64 (95% CrI: -84, 260) per DALY averted from a modified societal perspective.” There are errors in the third sentence of the “Misuse and potential changes in delivery pathway trajectory following misoprostol distribution” section of the Methods. The correct sentence is “In Uganda, the MamaMiso study found that 99.7% of women used misoprostol appropriately, and the 0.3% that took it after delivery show no adverse events [18].” There are errors in the first and fifth sentences of the “Cost-effectiveness analysis” subsection of the Results. The correct sentences are “In the base-case, the expected incidence of PPH was lower with prenatal misoprostol distribution (4.3% versus 5.5%; an absolute reduction of 1.2% and relative reduction of 28.7%).” and “In the incremental analysis, prenatal misoprostol distribution had an ICER of US$181 per DALY averted from a government perspective, and US$64 per DALY averted from a modified societal perspective.” There are errors in the fifth sentence of the “Probabilistic sensitivity analysis” section of the Results. The correct sentence is “The range on the ICERs were $81 to $441 per DALY averted from the government and $-84 to $260 per DALY averted from the societal perspective.”en_US
