Egypt currently holds the record for the most retractions in the continent of Africa according to the Retraction Watch database, and the 2^nd highest of countries in the Middle East. The purpose of this study was to analyse the retracted medical publications from Egyptian affiliations, in order to delineate specific problems and solutions. We examined databases including Pubmed, Google Scholar and others, for all retracted medical publications that were conducted in an Egyptian institution, up to the date of August 31^st 2022. We observed for the reason(s) for retraction, number of citations of the retracted work, the length of time between publication and retraction, and where the work was published (journal, publisher and impact factor). 68 retractions were identified. Most retractions were from the speciality of Obstetrics and Gynecology (n = 22), followed by Anesthesia (n = 7). The top 3 reasons for retraction were unreliable results, FFP level misconduct, and duplicate publication. The number of retractions significantly increased over the years, especially in 2022. When taking into account the number of medical publications per institution, the institute with the highest rate of retractions was Mansoura University, while the lowest rate was Cairo University. The number of retracted medical Egyptian publications continues to increase over time, although they represent a small portion of the overall body of Egyptian medical research. Future studies on retracted articles should employ a methodology that considers the institutions where the studies were conducted. This could allow a better understanding of specific problems in certain countries or regions.

根据撤回观察数据库，埃及目前保持着非洲大陆撤回最多的记录，也是 中东第二高的国家^。本研究的目的是分析埃及附属机构撤回的医学出版物，以找出具体问题和解决方案。我们检查了包括 Pubmed、Google Scholar 等在内的数据库，查找截至 2022 年 8 月 31 日在埃及机构发表的所有已撤回的医学出版物。^我们观察了撤回原因、论文的引用次数。撤回的作品、发布和撤回之间的时间长度以及作品的发布地点（期刊、出版商和影响因子）。确定了 68 项撤回。大多数撤稿来自妇产科专业（n = 22），其次是麻醉专业（n = 7）。撤回的前 3 个原因是结果不可靠、FFP 级别的不当行为和重复发表。多年来，撤稿数量显着增加，尤其是在 2022 年。考虑到每个机构的医学出版物数量时，撤稿率最高的机构是曼苏拉大学，而撤稿率最低的是开罗大学。随着时间的推移，埃及撤回的医学出版物的数量持续增加，尽管它们仅占埃及医学研究整体的一小部分。未来对撤回文章的研究应采用考虑进行研究的机构的方法。这可以让我们更好地了解某些国家或地区的具体问题。
