    van de Vorst IE, Vaartjes I, Geerlings MI, et al. Prognosis of patients with dementia: results from a prospective nationwide registry linkage study in the Netherlands. BMJ Open 2015;5:e008897. The authors of this paper note an error in the syntax that has resulted in an underestimation of five-year mortality risks. It does not change any conclusions; however, the tables representing the mortality risks show incorrect risks. Corrected tables and figures are given below. All risks mentioned in the manuscript are detailed in the Supplementary file ‘Prognosis of patients with dementia_revised version’.
