Abstract: EXPRESSION OF CONCERN: S. A. M. Shazly, L. H. O. Embaby, and S. S. Ali. “The Labour Scale—Assessment of the Validity of a Novel Labour Chart: A Pilot Study†.” Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology 54, no. 4 (2014): 322–326. https://doi.org/10.1111/ajo.12209. This Expression of Concern for the above article published online on 17 May 2014 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com) has been published by agreement between the journal Editor-in-Chief, Scott White; The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists; and John Wiley & Sons Australia Ltd. The Expression of Concern has been agreed due to concerns raised about the accuracy of the mean age of nullipara and multipara presented in Table 1. Furthermore, the feasibility of the 1-min APGAR scores listed in Table 1 was also questioned. The authors provided an explanation and an incomplete data set excluding some of the results flagged as implausible. This was not considered satisfactory, thus the journal has decided to issue an Expression of Concern to alert the readers.
