Re: [RC] AERA - Heidi SmithOn the other hand, the growth in deaths over the past few years in the AERC is much greater than the growth in starts I'm still looking for proof that this is a valid statement. I know there have been years in the past when we've had as many or more deaths than we see now. And Truman, you know enough about statistics to know that when you are dealing with a VERY low number of anything, a difference of one or two looks HUGE but really is not very significant. Never mind the fact that as others have pointed out, our reporting has been spotty in the past, and not all vets have followed up and added the ones that went home and died--which with quicker intervention, you've changed how those are reported.
