We, the Editor and Publisher of Hypertension in Pregnancy, have retracted the following article:
Mohamed Rezk, Mohamed Abo-Elnasr, Alaa Al Halaby, Ahmed Zahran & Hassan Badr (2016) Maternal and fetal outcome in women with gestational hypertension in comparison to gestational proteinuria: A 3-year observational study, Hypertension in Pregnancy, 35:2, 181-188, DOI: 10.3109/10641955.2015.1130832
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 have not responded to the concerns raised, and they have not provided their original data or sufficient supporting information to verify that the research and publication comply with the journal’s Editorial Policies. As verifying the validity of published work is core to the integrity of the scholarly record, we are therefore retracting the article, and have informed the authors. The authors do not agree with the retraction.
We have been informed in our decision-making by our editorial policies and COPE guidelines.
The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as ‘Retracted’.
