A classification of patients with sepsis (modified SOFA score > = 2) classification appears incorrectly throughout the article. The incorrect total number of patients with organ dysfunction is 3,716/4,989, and the correct total number is 3,806/4,989.

Blood culture positivity appears incorrectly throughout the article. The incorrect positivity is 752/4,989 (15%) and the correct positivity is 629/4989 (13%).

These changes impact the manuscript, tables, Figs 2 and 3, and the Supporting Information. The authors have provided corrected versions of the tables, figures, and Supporting Information here.

(A) Map of Thailand. Yellow areas represent provinces from which patients were transferred. (B) Locations of hospitals. Navy blue circle represents the study hospital, Sunpasitthiprasong Hospital. There were a total of 63 referring hospitals; 33 were located in Ubon Ratchathani province, 25 were located in the three adjacent provinces, and 5 were located in the other provinces. Green circles represent 33 referring hospitals located in Ubon Ratchathani province (7 were in Mueang district). Brown circles represent referring hospitals located in three adjacent provinces and the other provinces. (C) Three pie charts represent 28-day mortality. The navy blue, green and brown pie charts represent non-transferred patients, patients transferred from other hospitals in Ubon Ratchathani, and patients transferred from other provinces, respectively. ArcGis Version 10.2 (ESRI, Redlands, CA, USA) was used to map the study hospital and referring hospitals, using the boundaries of provinces and countries from www.gadm.org.
