Similar or similarly poor success rate?
In the following sentence, is "similar" correct, or should it be "similarly"?
The success rate of PVR was less than 30% and eyes with retinal detachment had a similar poor success rate.
I think it should be "similar" because it's modifying "rate," a noun. Am I correct?
Thanks.
