Results previously published in The New England Journal of Medicine that assessed the relationship between clinic and ambulatory BP measurements and mortality have been retracted by the journal based on a request by the authors.
The reason for the retraction was inaccuracies in the data analyses and analytic database, J.R. Banegas, MD, professor at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, and colleagues wrote in a Letter to the Editor in The New England Journal of Medicine.
The study was originally published in April 2018. As Healio previously reported, the study found that ambulatory BP measurements were better predictors of CV and all-cause mortality compared with clinic BP measurements. – by Darlene Dobkowski
Disclosures: Banegas reports he received grants from Fondo de Investigación Sanitaria and personal fees from Lacer. Please see the original study for all other authors’ relevant financial disclosures.
