The editors wish to note that concerns were raised regarding coding errors in the data set that formed the basis of this study. Patient record numbers were found to be duplicated, so that the number of endophthalmitis cases was unclear as was the associated treatment, and the number of unique patients estimated to be far less than the 480,000 reported. Upon review of the information provided, Ophthalmology has determined the dataset to be flawed with unverifiable elements from which reliable conclusions cannot be drawn, and therefore has made the decision to issue a retraction of the manuscript.

编辑们希望指出，人们对构成本研究基础的数据集中的编码错误提出了担忧。发现患者的记录数是重复的，因此不清楚眼内炎病例的数目以及相关的治疗方法，并且独特患者的数目估计远远少于报道的480,000。复查所提供的信息后，眼科确定该数据集存在无法验证的无法确定可靠结论的要素，因此决定撤回该手稿。
