Abstract
At the request of the Journal Editor and SAGE Publications, the following article has been retracted.
Conservative oxygen supplementation versus usual oxygen supplementation among septic medical intensive care units patients: A before-after investigation. DOI: 10.1177/00368504211016953
Following publication of the article the journal became aware that the study may have been written and submitted by a third-party agency which was not disclosed at the time of submission. Concerns were also raised about the study design, which has been reported as a retrospective analysis of routinely collected data but involves comparison between a novel intervention and routine clinical care.
The corresponding author noted that they did not use a third-party agency but did not respond to the remaining concerns raised about their research.
Given the concerns about the intervention and lack of consent procedures for participants, the journal editor retracts this article.
