Correction to: BMC Pediatr (2018)

Please be advised that following publication of the original article [1], it was brought to the authors’ attention that they did not have permission to reproduce the questionnaire in Additional File 1, and so Additional File 1 has since been removed from the article.

In addition, please note that the following (required) statement was previously missing from the Acknowledgements of the article:

“We used the questionnaires developed for the EURONIC Project on ‘Parents’ information and ethical decision making in neonatal intensive care units: staff attitudes and opinions’ (EU Contract n. BMH1-CT93-1242) with permission. Requests for use of the questionnaires should be addressed to Marina Cuttini (marina.cuttini@opbg.net; marinacuttini@gmail.com).”

Furthermore, after publication of the original article [1], the corresponding author noticed that the given names and family names of the members included in the Swiss Neonatal End-of-Life Study Group had been erroneously reverted in the initial publication.

These errors have all been corrected in the original article.
