Cognitive behaviour therapy for adolescents with chronic fatigue syndrome: randomised controlled trial

In the paper by Maja Stulemeijer and colleagues the drop-outrate from treatment in the group allocated to immediate cognitivebehaviour therapy was given as 19% (BMJ 2005;330:14-7, 1 Jan).This should have been 17% (6/35). Also, in the footnote to table4 (full version only) the cut-off score on the fatigue was givenas $≥$ 35.7. As the paper indicates that patients were consideredto be improved if the score was < 35.7, reflecting less fatigue,the cut off in the footnote would be better presented as <35.7 to match the presentation in the text.
