The Viewpoint titled “Regional Variation in Surgical Procedure Rates: Going Beyond Description,” published on November 3, 2021, was corrected to fix an incorrect word in the sentence “The presence of regional variation in surgical rates raises questions about the underlying causes, including whether the variation exceeds differences that could be expected due to differences in the prevalence of the underlying disease in the population, and whether physicians or patients are the primary drivers of traits.” The word “traits” should have been “rates.” This article was corrected online.

2021 年 11 月 3 日发布的题为“手术率的区域差异：超越描述”的观点已更正以修正句子“手术率的区域差异的存在引发了有关根本原因的问题，包括变异是否超过了由于人群中潜在疾病患病率的差异而可能预期的差异，以及医生或患者是否是特征的主要驱动因素。” “特质”这个词应该是“比率”。这篇文章在线更正。
