Erratum

The Introduction section of the article by Rubin et al1 in the October 2022 issue contains a citation error. Reference 3 cites Terplan et al in this sentence, which is incorrect: “Marijuana use, which is legal in 37 states,2 is considered a risk factor for concomitant use of other substances and is frequently used as an indication for urine drug screening to stratify neonatal risk and ensure safe discharge planning.3” The corrected sentence is: “Marijuana use, which is legal in 37 states2 may be associated with concomitant use of other substances3 and is used as an indication for urine drug testing at our institution, ostensibly to stratify neonatal risk and ensure safe discharge planning.” The correct Reference 3 is: Ko JY, Farr SL, Tong VT, Creanga AA, Callaghan WM. Prevalence and patterns of marijuana use among pregnant and nonpregnant women of reproductive age. Am J Obstet Gynecol 2015;213:201.e1–10. doi: 10.1016/j.ajog.2015.03.021.
