The following Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes article is being retracted:
Clinical Value of Predicting Individual Treatment Effects for Intensive Blood Pressure Therapy: A Machine Learning Experiment to Estimate Treatment Effects from Randomized Trial Data. Circ Cardiovasc Qual Outcomes 2019;12:e005010. doi: 10.1161/CIRCOUTCOMES.118.005010
After publication, the authors identified that the coding for the X-learner method incorrectly inflated the estimates of its performance. This error changes the article’s conclusions to indicate no significant benefit to the X-learner approach.
Therefore, in agreement with the editors, the authors have requested to retract the article.
