All rapid responses

Rapid responses are electronic comments to the editor. They enable our users to debate issues raised in articles published on bmj.com. A rapid response is first posted online. If you need the URL (web address) of an individual response, simply click on the response headline and copy the URL from the browser window. A proportion of responses will, after editing, be published online and in the print journal as letters, which are indexed in PubMed. Rapid responses are not indexed in PubMed and they are not journal articles. The BMJ reserves the right to remove responses which are being wilfully misrepresented as published articles.

Conflict of interest in an conclusions on the best place for Cystic Fibrosis Care

To the Editor,

There was no conflict of interest statement attached to an article suggesting that cystic fibrosis patients did better if they were treated in specialist centres, although many of the authors worked in such units. Do you think this was a mistake?
