In the Research article by Attar-Zadeh et al. Healthcare costs associated with short-acting β2-agonists in asthma: observational UK SABINA study BJGP Open 2023; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGPO.2023.0015, the healthcare resource utilisation costs were extrapolated to the overall Integrated Care System (IC) UK population (N = 1 700 000) instead of the intended IC asthma population (N = 85 429). This has been corrected throughout the article. Under the Methods, Statistical analysis section, the hypothetical ‘average’ IC asthma population has been corrected from 1 700 000 to 85 429.
In the Results, Extrapolation of asthma-related HCRU to UK, IC and PCN populations section, the sentence "The proportionately higher HCRU in the high-SABA group translated to an additional £41 186 153/year and £1 211 357 /year in the IC and PCN populations, respectively, versus the extrapolated low-SABA group" has been corrected to "The proportionately higher HCRU in the high-SABA group translated to an additional £2 069 701/year and £1 211 357/year in the IC and PCN asthma populations, respectively, versus the extrapolated low-SABA group".
