Erratum. Gradual Titration of Semaglutide Results in Better Treatment Adherence and Fewer Adverse Events: A Randomized Controlled Open-Label Pilot Study Examining a 16-Week Flexible Titration Regimen Versus Label-Recommended 8-Week Semaglutide Titration Regimen Diabetes Care 2025;48:1607-1611.

Key Finding

This is an erratum correcting author affiliation information - no research findings are reported in this correction notice.

What This Study Found

This isn't actually a research paper about GLP-1 or obesity treatment - it's what's called an 'erratum,' which is essentially a correction notice published by a medical journal. Think of it like when a newspaper runs a correction the next day to fix a mistake in yesterday's edition. In this case, the journal Diabetes Care is correcting the institutional affiliation listed for one of the authors (Assaf Buch) in a previously published study about semaglutide dosing strategies. The original study compared two different ways of starting patients on semaglutide - a gradual 16-week approach versus the standard 8-week titration - but this erratum contains no information about those actual research findings.

Statistics Decoded

No statistics are provided in this erratum. This is purely an administrative correction to fix author affiliation information that was incorrectly published in the original research paper.

Why This Matters

While this correction doesn't impact the science, accurate author affiliations matter for giving proper credit to researchers and their institutions, and for readers who want to understand where the research was conducted.

Original Abstract

In the article cited above, the affiliations for author Assaf Buch were incorrectly given as Diabetes Unit, Institute of Endocrinology, Metabolism and Hypertension, Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, Tel-Aviv, Israel, and Department of Nutritional Sciences, School of Health Sciences, Ariel University, Ariel, Israel. The sole affiliation for this author is Department of Nutritional Sciences, School of Health Sciences, Ariel University, Ariel, Israel. The online version of the article (https://doi.org/10.2337/dc25-0690) has been updated with the correct affiliation information.
