The third sentence in paragraph 3 should have read “Furthermore, although the study demonstrated high relative-risk reductions, the overall incidence of the composite primary end point was only 2.8% in the placebo arm, with an absolute risk reduction of 1.2% (number needed to treat = 83), and the incidence of hard cardiovascular end points was only 1.8%, with an absolute risk reduction of 0.9% (number needed to treat = 120)” rather than number needed to harm, as was indicated.
