Letter to the Editor referring to the retracted publication entitled “Straticyte demonstrates prognostic value over oral epithelial dysplasia grade for oral potentially malignant lesion assessment” by Hwang et al.

After our article entitled “Straticyte demonstrates prognostic value over oral epithelial dysplasia grade for oral potentially malignant lesion assessment” [1] was published in Oral Oncology, we responded to a reader’s query and provided our data at the Editor-in-Chief’s request. In reviewing the data, we discovered t hat a calculation error had occurred which changed the sensitivity from 71% to 48% and negative predictive value from 60% to 36% for the Straticyte assay in the high-risk vs. non-high-risk subgroups.
