A third party reported evidence of excessive self-citations by the authors. The publisher did not find that self-citations were unreasonable, given the topic. However, the publisher determined that the Methods were insufficiently supported by the references. It was also determined that there were significant problems with the methodology underlying the study, a finding which was supported by a Letter to the Editor published by the journal [1] which identified numerous flaws including the lack of a control group of non-burn patients. The investigation also found that the ethics statement contradicts the informed consent procedure outlined in the Methods section.
