The original version of this Article contained an error in the authors affiliations. The affiliation of Neela B. Alamoudi was given as ‘Intern, College of Medicine, Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, Dammam, Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia’ (#9) while a new affiliation (#10) ‘Emergency Medicine Department, King Fahad Specialist Hospital, Eastern Health Cluster, Dammam, Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia’ was inadvertently omitted. This has been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the Article.
