Re: Association between low density lipoprotein and all cause and cause specific mortality in Denmark: prospective cohort study
Dear Editor,
I am puzzled that no conflicts of interest have been declared in this paper, when one author, Børge G. Nordestgaard, has declared several relevant conflicts of interest in another paper published this year (1). These are shown as "B.G.N. reports consultancies and honoraria for lectures from AstraZeneca, Sanofi, Regeneron, Amgen, Akcea, Kowa, Novartis, Novo Nordisk”.
