Weise JC, Srasuebkul P, Trollor JN. Potentially preventable hospitalisations of people with intellectual disability in New South Wales. Med J Aust 2021; 215: 31‐36. https://doi.org/10.5694/mja2.51088 The authors have identified three minor errors in the code used to define potentially preventable hospitalisations for people with intellectual disability: For diabetes complications, the use of level 3 instead of level 4 ICD‐10 codes. For the non‐vaccine preventable pneumonia, a missing decimal point for the J15.7 code (J157 instead of J15.7). For gangrene, the use of a principal diagnosis code for the R02 instead of any diagnosis code. The authors have re‐run their analysis and found minor changes to the rates and trends of potentially preventable hospitalisation for people with intellectual disability: Including diabetes complications has changed the overall rates of chronic disease; chronic disease admission rates are now higher for people with intellectual disability. A small increase in the number admissions related to non‐vaccine‐preventable pneumonia. No difference in the result for gangrene‐related admission, as the numbers remain too low to include in our results. The new information, which does not change the overall findings and discussion, is reflected in the changes to the Abstract, the Results section, Boxes 1 to 3, and the Supporting Information described below. In the Abstract, the Results paragraph should read: Results: The annual age‐standardised rate for people with intellectual disability ranged between 5889 and 7203 per 100 000 persons, and for the NSW population between 1278 and 1511 per 100 000 persons; the rate ratio (RR) ranged between 3.9 (95% CI, 3.7–4.1) in 2014–15 and 5.0 (95% CI, 4.6–5.4) in 2002–03. The difference was greatest for admissions with acute conditions (RR range: 5.4 [95% CI, 5.0–5.8] in 2014–15 to 8.1 [95% CI, 7.4–8.8] in 2002–03). By specific condition, the highest age‐standardised rate was for admissions with convulsions and epilepsy (all years, 2567 per 100 000 population; v NSW population: RR, 22.2; 95% CI, 21.3–23.1). In the Results section, page 32, the first paragraph should read: Between 2001–02 and 2014–15, the age‐standardised rate of potentially preventable hospitalisations of people with intellectual disability ranged between 5889 and 7203 per 100 000 persons; the age‐standardised rate for the NSW population ranged between 1278 and 1511 per 100 000 persons. RRs ranged between 3.9 (95% CI, 3.7–4.1) in 2014–15 and 5.0 (95% CI, 4.6–5.4) in 2002–03 (Box 1, Box 2, A; Supporting Information, table 2). In the Results section, page 32, the second paragraph should read: RRs for potentially preventable hospitalisations for vaccine‐preventable conditions ranged between 2.1 (95% CI, 1.6–3.0) in 2007–08 and 3.4 (95% CI, 2.2–5.2) in 2004–05 (Box 1, Box 2, B; Supporting Information, table 2). For acute conditions, RRs ranged between 5.4 (95% CI, 5.0–5.8) in 2014–15 and 8.1 (95% CI, 7.4–8.8) in 2002–03 (Box 1, Box 2, C; Supporting Information, table 2). For chronic conditions, RRs ranged between 2.0 (for several years) and 2.5 (95% CI, 2.1–2.8) in 2004–05 (Box 1, Box 2, D; Supporting Information, table 2). In the Results section, pages 32 to 33, the final two paragraphs should read: In each age group, the difference in rates of potentially avoidable hospitalisations for people with intellectual disability and for the general NSW population was greatest for convulsions or epilepsy (all ages: RR, 22.2; 95% CI, 21.3–23.1). The second greatest differences were for bronchiectasis for people aged 0–14years (RR, 10.0; 95% CI, 4.1–24.7), 15–24years (RR, 14.5; 95% CI, 5.2–40.5), or 25–44years (RR, 11.7; 95% CI, 4.6–29.7), diabetes complications for people aged 45–64years (RR, 6.5; 95% CI, 5.4–7.8), and pelvic inflammatory disease for people aged 65years or more (RR, 9.0; 95% CI, 1.2–65) (Box 3; Supporting Information, table 3). In each age group, potentially avoidably hospitalisations of people with intellectual disability for asthma were less frequent than for the general NSW population (all ages: RR, 0.4; 95% CI, 0.4–0.4) (Box 3; Supporting Information, table 3).

Most riders (625, 88%) were adults and 533 (75%) were boys or men; the proportion of riders under 18 years of age was greater than for share bicycles (11% v 2%). Almost half the shared e‐scooters (342, 48%) were ridden illegally (rider under age, not wearing a helmet, riding on the road, or doubling a passenger), as were eleven private e‐scooters (12%); correct helmet use was less common than for share bicycle riders (81%). Not wearing a properly fastened helmet (no helmet or helmet not properly fastened) was the most frequent risky behaviour, and was again more common among shared than private e‐scooter riders (277 shared e‐scooter riders [39%], four private e‐scooter riders [4%]) (Box).
