Help with this sentence please
The clinical benefits of LOS compared with other ARBs may be apparent when it is combined with thiazides
Should I change the above as
The clinical benefits of LOS compared with those of other ARBs may be apparent when it is combined with thiazides
to agree with correct comparison (as the original seems to be a false comparison)?
Please advise...
