Correction to “Characterization of Cancer Survivors Clustered by Subjective and Objective Cognitive Function Scores”
Year: 2026
Type: erratum
Abstract: Following publication of the article [1], we became aware that the SF-36 Bodily Pain measure had been described and interpreted with an incorrect score direction.Specifically, the 2-item Bodily Pain subscale of the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) is scored on a 0-100 transformed scale in which higher values represent less bodily pain (better health status) and lower values represent more bodily pain (worse health status) [2].In the published version, we mistakenly stated/implied that higher Bodily Pain scores reflected greater pain severity, which is opposite to the SF-36 scoring convention.This issue is limited to the narrative description and interpretation of the Bodily Pain scale and does not change any statistical results (including p-values), because all analyses were performed using appropriately scored SF-36 Bodily Pain values.We have revised the relevant statements in the Methods, Results, Discussion, and Supporting Information to ensure that the interpretation of SF-36 Bodily Pain scores is accurate and consistent throughout.
