Retraction notice to "The role of laryngeal ultrasound in diagnosis of infant laryngomalacia" [Int. J. Pediatr. Otorhinolaryngol. 124 (2019) 111-115].

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (https://www.elsevier.com/about/our-business/policies/article-withdrawal). This article has been retracted at the request of the Authors and the Editor-in-Chief. After a thorough investigation, the Editor-in-Chief has concluded that details in the origin of data and permissions integral to the article's acceptance in the journal necessitate a retraction. A single hospital was mentioned in the article but this was not where the data was collected. Reviewers would have assumed that informed consent was received and properly reviewed by this institution, as it was not otherwise specified. Several oversights within the article that were brought forward by the Authors make it clear that the article that was accepted had misrepresentation of key data. While the Authors presented some differences of opinion about how these concerns about the key data originated, it is clear that when the manuscript was accepted that Reviewers and Editors would not have had knowledge of these difficulties, and this may have created a different review process and outcome for this manuscript. One of the Authors has requested an ability to provide additional information to address the concerns. However, the Editor-in-Chief has decided that this would not follow the process for accepted manuscripts or address some of the concerns presented and, therefore, has settled on the retraction of the manuscript as the final decision regarding this paper.
