Kim H, Oh H, Park J, Cho H, Lee S. Correction: An early presentation of neurogenic pulmonary edema in acute subarachnoid hemorrhage. Signa Vitae. 2026; 22(3): 157-157. doi: 10.22514/sv.2026.037
In the originally published article [1] (DOI: 10.22514/sv.2023.101), post-publication review identified that Reference [2] did not accurately support the corresponding statement on the prevalence of neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE) in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Upon re-evaluation, the authors also noted that the two related sentences contained a misinterpretation of data from a clinicopathological study.
In collaboration with the authors, the following correction has been made in this Correction:
1. Replacement of Reference [2]
Reference [2] has been replaced with the following more relevant citation:
[2] Weir BK. Pulmonary edema following fatal aneurysm rupture. Journal of Neurosurgery. 1978; 49: 502–507.
2. Revision of the Introduction section
The two related sentences have been merged and revised as follows:
Original text: “Multiple studies have provided insights into the prevalence of clinically manifest NPE in patients with SAH. One study found a prevalence of 31% in clinically diagnosed cases, while the true prevalence based on autopsy findings was reported to be as high as 78%. Another study corroborated these findings, reporting a prevalence of 31% during patient care and an even higher prevalence of 71% when assessed postmortem [2, 3].”
Corrected text: “Multiple studies have provided insights into the prevalence of clinically manifest NPE in patients with SAH. A clinicopathological study of 78 fatal SAH cases reported that 71% had pathological pulmonary edema, while only 31% of these cases had been clinically diagnosed as pulmonary edema [2, 3].”
The authors confirm that these corrections concern only the accuracy and relevance of the cited reference and the numerical description of previously reported clinicopathological prevalence. They do not affect the scientific content, case presentation, results, interpretations, or conclusions of the original study.
The authors sincerely apologize for this oversight and any inconvenience caused. This Correction has been approved by the Editor-in-Chief. The original article PDF remains available as published and has not been altered. Readers are advised to refer to this Correction for the updated Reference [2] and text in the Introduction section.
