Hormone-Replacement Therapy Compared with Simvastatin for Postmenopausal Women with Hypercholesterolemia (Correspondence, N Engl J Med 1998:338;63 - 64) . On page 63, the first sentence of the letter that begins in the right-hand column should have read, “The report by Darling and colleagues ascribes a 24 percent reduction in LDL cholesterol levels,” not “a 27 percent reduction in Lp(a) lipoprotein levels,” as printed. We regret the error.
