Notice of Republication

This article [1] was republished on October 21, 2025, to address an issue identified post-publication. An updated version of S1 File is provided with this notice. Please download this article again to view the correct version.

The article’s Data Availability statement is updated to: All relevant data are within the manuscript and its Supporting Information file.

In addition to the concerns above, the corresponding author contacted PLOS about errors in Fig 1, and Tables 1–2;

  • In Fig 1, the number of cases for the third extubation attempt is incorrectly duplicated from the second attempt; the correct value is 14, not 177. The correct Fig 1 is provided here.
  • In Tables 1 and 2, in the fifth column, the number of tracheostomy cases are erroneously recorded as 230, while the correct value is 203. These errors were carried over into the percentage calculations within the same columns, however, the p-values are correct. The correct Tables 1 and 2 with updated tracheostomy case percentages are provided here.
  • In Table 2, the case numbers for different craniotomy indications (rows 3–6) are misaligned with their corresponding column headings. Please see the correct Table 2 below.
