IN RESPONSE:
We are glad that potential conflicts of interest related to Choudhry and colleagues' provocative article have been addressed (1). The intent of our required conflict-of-interest disclosure forms is to have authors disclose any financial interest or potential financial conflict between authors, authors' employees, or authors' institutions and subject matter or materials discussed in manuscripts.
