Retraction Notice: Galactogogues use Among Mothers With Preterm Births: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (Journal of Human Lactation, (2020), 36, 3, (NP3-NP14), 10.1177/0890334420914629)

Abstract

The Journal of Human Lactation has retracted the article by Ezenwa and colleagues, Galactogogues use Among Mothers with Preterm Births: A Systematic Review and Meta- Analysis, first published online 26th of May 2020. We are taking this action after a reader and an independent reviewer identified clear evidence that the reported findings are unreliable, as a result of miscalculations and major errors in the authors’ methodology which are grounds for retraction according to international guidelines established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (2019). These major concerns are described in greater detail below.
