Correction: Distribution and determinants of pneumonia diagnosis using integrated management of childhood illness guidelines: A nationally representative study in Malawi (BMJ Global Health (2018) 3 (e000506) DOI: 10.1136/bmjgh-2017-000506)

This article has been corrected since it first published. Owing to a communication lapse within the author team, the authors were not aware that findings from a related article that included co-author Humphreys Nsona were published while this article was under review and could be cited. This article focused on management of pneumonia cases once diagnosed. In addition, a typographic error resulted in the omission of an additional citation. The corrections are: Addition to Introduction, paragraph 4: 'Previous studies on assessment and management of pneumonia using nationally representative data have identified gaps in clinical assessment and poor prescribing practices.[29,30]' Inclusion of missing citation, Discussion paragraph four at end of sentence, 'Prior analysis of the SPA data in Malawi found that nearly 30% of children who needed antibiotics did not receive them, while nearly 60% of children without antibiotic need were prescribed them.' Addition to Discussion, paragraph 4: 'Our results confirm low rates of appropriate assessment such as respiratory rate identified in an analysis of these data, with particularly weak performance among children over 1.[30]' The references are: [29] Johansson EW, et al.
