In the September 2012 BJGP, the article by Shephard EA, et al. Clinical features of bladder cancer in primary care. Br J Gen Pract 2012; DOI: 10.3399/bjgp12X654560, the authors reported PPVs for patients presenting with one attendance with haematuria. They regret this should have been the value for one OR MORE. In Figure 2 (the Risk Assessment Tool) all haematuria combinations increase by a factor of 1.6–2.0. In particular, haematuria in those aged ≥60 years has a PPV of 3.9% (95% CI = 3.5 to 4.6) as opposed to the published figure of 2.6 (95% CI = 2.2 to 3.2). In those aged 40–59 years it is 3.1% (95% CI = 1.0 to 9.8). The online version has been corrected.
