Retraction: Do anxiety and mood vary among disparate sleep profiles in youth with craniopharyngioma?
We, the Publishers, Editor, and Authors of Behavioral Sleep Medicine, have retracted the following article: Sara M. Witcraft, Molly E. Wickenhauser, Kathryn M. Russell, Belinda N. Mandrell, Heather M. Conklin, Thomas E. Merchant, and Valerie McLaughlin Crabtree; Do anxiety and mood vary among disparate sleep profiles in youth with craniopharyngioma?: A latent profile analysis; Behavioral Sleep Medicine; published online 4 March 2021; 10.1080/15402002.2021.1892679.
Post-publication, the Authors identified several errors in the published data. The research included DLMO data on the patients in the article, and, upon further review of the sleep variability data in relation to DLMO, the Authors identified an error in the formula that calculated standard deviation of SOL and WASO. With the formula corrected, the Authors retain a 3-class model of sleep disruption, but those classes are no longer associated with anxiety and depression. The authors may seek a separate publication of an updated manuscript in the future.
We have been informed in our decision-making by our policy on published ethics and integrity and the COPE guidelines on retractions. The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as “Retracted”.
