The Editor-in-Chief is issuing an editorial Expression of Concern for this article because concerns have been raised that the P values reported in the footnotes to Tables 2, 4 and 5 have been miscalculated. The authors have stated that they no longer have access to the original data and are unable to recalculate the P values based on the original data. Readers are therefore advised to interpret the results and conclusions with caution. El-Said Abdel-Hady, Muhammad Fawzy, Ahmed Ragab and Adel Saad Helal agree with this statement. Mohamed El-Negeri and Mohamed Nezar have not responded to correspondence from the Publisher about this statement.
