Retraction:
D. Zhu, Y. Wu, L. Fan, and X. Liu, "Risk Factors Related to Surgical Wound Infection After Caesarean Section: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis," International Wound Journal 21, no. 2 (2024): e14580, https://doi.org/10.1111/iwj.14580. The above article, published online on 31 January 2024, in Wiley Online Library (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/), has been retracted by agreement between the journal Editor in Chief, Professor Keith Harding; and John Wiley & Sons Ltd. Following an investigation by the publisher, all parties have concluded that this article was accepted solely on the basis of a compromised peer review process. In addition, the investigation found there was significant unattributed textual overlap between this article and a previously published article (Yang et al. 2023 [https://doi.org/10.1111/iwj.14420]). The editors have therefore decided to retract the article. The authors disagree with the retraction.
