We, the Editor and Publisher of the journal Renal Failure, have retracted the following article:
“Birthweight predicts glomerular filtration rate in adult-life: population based cross sectional study” 10.1080/0886022X.2021.1915798
Since publication, the Editor and publisher were alerted that the figures and data were used without the permission of the owners of the dataset from the AusDiab study. The authors were asked for comment but we have not received a response.
As obtaining required permissions for the published research was not obtained by the authors, we have retracted the article. The corresponding author has been notified.
We have been informed in our decision-making by our policy on publishing ethics and integrity and the COPE guidelines on retractions.
The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as ‘Retracted’.
