Re: Lowering blood pressure in 2003, a Clinical Update article by Chalmers JP and Arnolda LF in the 15 September 2003 issue of the Journal (Med J Aust 2003; 179: 306-312). On page 308, second column, under the heading ANBP2, an error in the editorial process led to an incorrect statement: “ANBP2 was an open-labelled randomised study with blinded endpoints, a design in which study doctors knew whether the patient was on active treatment or placebo . . . ”

ANBP2 is clearly a comparative study, not a placebo controlled study, as is made plain in the other sections of the article.

The html and pdf versions of the article published online were corrected on 14 November 2003.
