Abstract

We, the Editor and Publisher of Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, have retracted the following article: Mao, B., & Chen, L. (2024). Pregnancy outcomes of foetal reduction from twin to singleton gestation compared to ongoing twin gestations: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 44(1). https://doi.org/10.1080/01443615.2024.2371955 Following publication, concerns have been raised about the accuracy of the representation of the data presented in the article. When approached for an explanation, the authors responded, however, they were unable to address the concerns raised. 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. The authors have agreed to retract the article. 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’.
