Medical Societies Demand Retraction of JAMA Article
Twenty-five medical societies, including the ISSM, have petitioned the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) to retract an article on cardiovascular risks associated with testosterone therapy.
The article, "Association of Testosterone Therapy With Mortality, Myocardial Infarction, and Stroke in Men With Low Testosterone Levels" by Rebecca Vigen, et al., was originally published on November 13, 2013. It has been corrected twice since then, revealing errors in the data.
The Androgen Study Group submitted the petition. In a press release, the group's chairman, Dr. Abraham Morgentaler said, "This is the first time in history a worldwide community of distinguished researchers, scholars, and clinicians has united to demand removal of a study from the literature. This unprecedented action is a complete repudiation of the false information published by JAMA that has harmed public health, distorted medical science, and violated he trust between medical journals and the consumer."
