Alali FM, Alhejji WA, Younis NS. Correction: Recognizing the usage of analgesics among Saudi women with primary dysmenorrhea. Signa Vitae. 2026; 22(3): 158-158. doi: 10.22514/sv.2026.038
In the originally published article [1] (DOI: 10.22514/sv.2023.126), post-publication review by the Editorial Office identified inconsistencies in the reported percentages and wording regarding the timing of analgesic intake relative to meals (before/after meals) in the Abstract, Results, and Discussion sections when compared with Table 3.
In collaboration with the authors, the following corrections have been made in this Correction:
1. Abstract
Original: “…whereas 22.5% reported using analgesics before meals.”
Corrected: “…whereas 25.5% reported using analgesics before meals.”
2. Results section
Original: “With regards to the timing of analgesic intake with meals, 515 (66.9%) of females reported using analgesics prior to meals whereas (22.5%) reported they took analgesics before meals.”
Corrected: “With regards to the timing of analgesic intake with meals, 515 (66.9%) of females reported using analgesics after meals whereas (25.5%) reported they took analgesics before meals.”
3. Discussion section
Original: “…whereas 22.5% used analgesics before meals. These reports are alarming since 22.5% of females…”
Corrected: “…whereas 25.5% used analgesics before meals. These reports are alarming since 25.5% of females…”
Table 3 remains unchanged as it accurately reflects the raw data.
The authors confirm that these corrections are limited to inaccuracies in the reported percentages and the description of analgesic intake timing relative to meals. The underlying raw data, statistical analyses, main results, interpretations, and conclusions of the study remain unchanged.
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 revised statements in the Abstract, Results, and Discussion sections.
