We, the Editors and Publisher of Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, have retracted the following article:
Seal, S. L., Dey, A., Barman, S. C., Kamilya, G., & Mukherji, J. (2014). Does elevating the fetal head prior to delivery using a fetal pillow reduce maternal and fetal complications in a full dilatation caesarean section? A prospective study with historical controls. Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 34(3), 241-244. https://doi.org/10.3109/01443615.2013.844108
Since publication, significant concerns have been raised about the integrity of the data and reported results in the article. When approached for an explanation, the authors did not respond to our queries and despite several attempts to obtain a response from the authors and their institution we have not received any original data or necessary supporting information. As verifying the validity of published work is core to the integrity of the scholarly record, we are therefore retracting the article. The corresponding author listed in this publication has been informed.
We have been informed in our decision-making by our editorial policies and the COPE guidelines. The retracted articles will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but they will be digitally watermarked on each page as 'Retracted'.
