The Journal of Clinical Medicine retracts the article “An Admission-to-Discharge BNP Increase Is a Predictor of Six-Month All-Cause Death in ADHF Patients: Inferences from Multivariate Analysis Including Admission BNP and Various Clinical Measures of Congestion“ [1], cited above.
Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the publisher regarding potential redundancy concerning a previous publication [2] from the same authorship group.
Adhering to our complaint’s procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office and the Editorial board that confirmed a significant overlap between the two publications. As a result, the Editorial Office and Editorial Board consider this publication [1] to be redundant and, therefore, have decided to retract, as per MDPI’s retraction policy (https://www.mdpi.com/ethics#_bookmark30), and in line with the Committee on Publication Ethics’ retraction guidelines (https://publicationethics.org/retraction-guidelines).
This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Clinical Medicine.
The authors did not provide a comment on this retraction decision.
