Corrigendum

The authors would like to draw the reader's attention to errors in the manuscript, entitled 'New predictive models for falls among inpatients using public ADL scale in Japan: A retrospective observational study of 7,858 patients in acute care setting' which was published in PLOS ONE, Vol 15, Issue 7.

There was a mistake in the formula of model 2 in supporting information 4.

The correct formula of model 2 is as follow:
−5.8563 + 0.0096 × (Age) + (Male = 0.5684) + (Emergency admission = 0.4418) + (Admitted department; Neurosurgery = 0.6520) + (Hypnotics; Using = 0.3612, Missing data = 0.2139) + (History of fall = 0.4362) + (Ability of eating; Independent = 0.2352, Missing data = −1.0436) + (Bedriddenness rank; J = 1.3758, A = 1.8317, B = 1.9186, C = 1.7205, Not assessable = −0.1505).

The authors apologize for the error and any confusion it may have caused.
