Abstract
At the request of the Journal Editor and Sage, the following article has been retracted for reasons of redundant publication:
1. Alwakid G, Gouda W, Humayun M, Jhanjhi N. Enhancing diabetic retinopathy classification using deep learning. Digit Health. 2023;9. https://doi.org/10.1177/20552076231203676.
The article has substantial unreferenced overlap to each the following:
2. Alwakid G, Gouda W, Humayun M. Enhancement of Diabetic Retinopathy Prognostication Using Deep Learning, CLAHE, and ESRGAN. Diagnostics. 2023; 13: 2375. https://doi.org/10.3390/diagnostics13142375.
3. Alwakid G, Gouda W, Humayun M, Jhanjhi NZ. Deep learning-enhanced diabetic retinopathy image classification. Digit Health. 2023;9. https://doi.org/10.1177/20552076231194942.
The authors explained that the articles are not similar and do not contain any overlap. However, the Journal Editor and Sage evaluated these articles and deemed the articles to contain significant overlap. Due to this assessment the article has been retracted.
