Editorial Expression of Concern to: Pediatric Research https://doi.org/10.1203/PDR.0b013e3181975f70, published online April 2009
The Editor-in-Chief is publishing an editorial Expression of Concern for this article. In 2019 a Correction1 was published explaining that this study was part of a larger project.2 However, concerns about the reliability of the data have now been raised.3 These concerns are that statistical analysis of the summary data in this article and in ref. 2 that appear to be identical with those reported in ref. 4 suggests that these studies were not conducted independently from the study reported in ref. 4 The original data from this study are not available for examination. Readers are therefore advised to interpret the results and conclusions presented in this article with caution. Afshan A. Chaudhry has not explicitly stated whether they agree with this notice. John F. Aloia, James K. Yeh, Mariano Castro-Magana, and Maria Sarah Guevarra have not responded to correspondence from the Journal about this notice.
