Submission received: 9 October 2023 / Accepted: 13 October 2023 / Published: 26 October 2023
The journal retracts the article entitled “Efficacy of Intermittent and Continuous Subglottic Secretion Drainage in Preventing the Risk of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Control Trials” [1].
Following the publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the Editorial Office regarding a number of irrelevant studies that were included in the analysis of this systematic review and meta-analysis [1].
Adhering to our complaint procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office and Editorial Board, which confirmed that a significant number of randomized control trials reviewed were not eligible to be included in the analysis of this systematic review and meta-analysis. Specifically, the inclusion of Chai et al. [2], Chow et al. [3], Philippart et al. [4] and Qiao et al. [5] was considered to have limited relevance to the main topic of this systematic review and meta-analysis, and consequently, was judged to sufficiently compromise the overall findings to a degree that the findings could not be relied upon. Moreover, as a result of this methodological flaw, erroneous analysis and interpretation of the findings was performed. The article is therefore retracted.
This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Medicina.
The authors did not agree to this retraction.
