Using accurate numerical wave functions within the adiabatic approximation, we calculate transition rates for the hydrogen atom in strong magnetic fields (of order 1010 - 1012 gauss, which are assumed for neutron stars), and compare with variational results of Wadehra. An error inherent in his work is pointed out. It is found that using numerical wave functions within the adiabatic approximation leads to values for the transition rates which are larger than the ones of the variational calculation by about 15%.
