Sir, We agree with Raina et al. about a more effective presentation of data in Table 1.[12] It is however important to point out that some of the group populations listed contained an overlap and were not meant to be added together due to such an intended crossover. In order to make the information easier to interpret, and thus more clinically relevant, a reformatting of Table 1 is presented. The groups are now fleshed out of the composite figures presented initially.
