“The patient tells it! The importance of patient's quality of life perception in pulmonary arterial hypertension risk assessment.” Silvia Ulrich and Ekkehard Grunig. Eur Respir J 2021; 57: 2004376

When discussing an original research article published in the February 2021 issue of the European Respiratory Journal [1], the above mentioned accompanying editorial erroneously stated that the patient group studied was retrieved from the REVEAL registry. The source database for the work was in fact the Pulmonary Hypertension Association Registry (PHAR). The corresponding sentence should read: “In this issue of the European Respiratory Journal, Borgese et al. [26] confirm the correlation of emPHasis-10 scores with other markers of disease severity, and that it serves as quantitative measure of patients' overall perception of the impact of PAH on their life in a large collective of US patients as retrieved by the Pulmonary Hypertension Association Registry (PHAR).”

The editorial has been corrected and republished online.
