Expression of Concern Reaffirmed

Abstract

Response to the Vioxx study:"On December 8, 2005, we published an expression of concern1 regarding an article by Bombardier et al. on the Vioxx Gastrointestinal Outcomes Research (VIGOR) study that was published in the Journal on November 23, 2000.2 Our expression of concern was prompted by evidence that the VIGOR article did not accurately represent the safety data available to the authors when the article was being reviewed for publication."
