In the BSG Abstracts supplement, there was an error in abstract 175 by Li et al (Gut 2003;52 Suppl I:A48). In the results section, the sentence after the table should read “1 year survival for all patients with and without pre-existing Barrett’s was 51.5% and 31% respectively, and for those undergoing potential curative resection, was 72.6% and 52.7%, respectively”. The authors apologise for the error.

In the author index of the BSG Abstracts supplement, J E Crabtree should have been listed as an author on abstract 126 by Jeremy et al (Gut 2003;52 Suppl I:A34). This was due to a technical error for which the journal apologises.
