Does my hospitalized patient need an NPO-after-midnight order preoperatively?
=============================================================================


In the February 2022 issue, an error appeared in *Chapman T, Sinz E, McGillen B. Does my hospitalized patient need an NPO-after-midnight order preoperatively? Cleve Clin J Med 2022; 89(2):69–70. doi:10.3949/ccjm.89a.21061*. In the reference list on [page 70](http://www.ccjm.org/lookup/doi/10.3949/ccjm.89a.21061), reference 3, the citation information was incorrect. The reference should have read as follows: Black MK, Lupa MC, Lemley LW, Dreesen EB, Deaton AM, Wardrop RM 3rd. Things we do for no reason: NPO after midnight. J Hosp Med 2021; 16(6):368–370. doi:10.12788/jhm.3537. This is now correct on [ccjm.org](http://ccjm.org).
