Abstract

A. S. R. Souza, F. E. L. Feitosa, A. A. R. Costa, A. P. R. Pereira, A. S. Carvalho, R. M. Paixão, L. Katz, M. M. R. Amorim, "Titrated Oral Misoprostol Solution Versus Vaginal Misoprostol for Labor Induction," International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics 123, no. 3 (2013): 207-212, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijgo.2013.06.028. The above article, published online on 03 September 2013, in Wiley Online Library (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/), has been retracted by agreement between the authors; the journal Editor-in-Chief, Michael Geary; the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics; and John Wiley & Sons Ltd. The authors reported to the journal that, when analyzing data for a systematic review, they detected that their database contained duplicate patient data. The authors also stated that they have attempted to identify the source of the error, but were unable to confirm the results as the original patient data are no longer available. The retraction has been agreed to because the evidence of duplications in patient data fundamentally compromises the parties' confidence in the results presented in this article.
