Error in Figure. In the Original Investigation by Forette et al titled "The Prevention of Dementia With Antihypertensive Treatment: New Evidence From the Systolic Hypertension in Europe (Syst-Eur) Study," published in the October 14, 2002, issue of the ARCHIVES (2002;162:2046-2052), an error occurred in Figure 2 on page 2048. In the key to that figure, patients randomized to placebo should have been indicated with open circles and those allocated to active treatment, with closed circles. The corrected Figure 2 is reprinted here. The journal regrets the error.
