Correction to Table 3 in article

Correction to article BMJ 2001;322:1-6.

I am grateful to Dr. Henry Kahn, CDC Atlanta for pointing out an
error in Table 3 of the above paper. For the Cox multivariate regression
for ischaemic heart disease, model 3 including diabetes and HbA1C in the
same model, the relative risk (95% CI) for Diabetes history should
be 2.00 (95% CI 0.67 - 5.96) P=0.21. The figure of 2.69 was incorrect.
