Abstract

To the Editor: As a Western Collaborative Group Study co-principal investigator,¹ I shall identify omissions in the article by Ragland and Brand (Jan. 14 issue).² Their identification clearly demonstrates that in the Western Collaborative Group Study, the mortality rate among Type A subjects was greater than that among Type B subjects both 8 1/2 and 23 years after their 1960 enrollment. First, the report did not indicate the number of Type A (1589) and Type B (1565) subjects in the Western Collaborative Group Study.³ Given this information, readers would have seen that the mortality rates among Type A patients at.
