Erratum to: Evaluation of biases present in the cohort multiple randomised controlled trial design: a simulation study

BMC Medical Research Methodology volume 17, Article number: 47 (2017) Cite this article

The Original Article was published on 31 January 2017

Erratum

After publication of the original article [1], it came to the authors’ attention that there was an error affecting the References. The published Reference 14 [2] is incorrect, and should have cited a different article by Pate et al. [3].

Pate et al. [3] should have been included in the Reference list as 14, and the subsequent references (and citations within the article text) should have been renumbered.
