Correction-to-data-in--The-Presence-of-Diffuse-Alv

Pdf Summary

The document highlights several updates and corrections to previously published articles in the journal CHEST. 

1. <strong>Retraction Notice</strong>: An article titled "Mechanical Ventilation as a Therapeutic Tool to Reduce ARDS Incidence" from the December 2015 issue has been retracted. The retraction occurred because the authors failed to disclose significant conflicts of interest, which might have influenced the study's interpretations or recommendations.

2. <strong>Correction on Antithrombotic Therapy Report</strong>: In the paper "Antithrombotic Therapy for VTE Disease: CHEST Guideline and Expert Panel Report," a grading error was discovered. Specifically, the recommendation line for therapeutic preference should read "LMWH over VKA therapy (Grade 2B)." This error appears on pages 316 and 325, and the online version of the article has been corrected accordingly.

3. <strong>Data Correction in ARDS Study</strong>: A study titled, "The Presence of Diffuse Alveolar Damage on Open Lung Biopsy Is Associated With Mortality in Patients With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis" has undergone data corrections. Corrections were made regarding the number of patients and other statistical data points. Despite these changes, the original conclusion that ARDS with Diffuse Alveolar Damage (DAD) is associated with higher mortality remains unchanged. The necessary amendments have been made to the online version of this article.

These updates ensure the accuracy and integrity of the journal's content and provide readers with the most precise and reliable information.
