In Table 2, column 2, row 13, the reference in the following text:

Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Pediatric Short Form version 2.0–Fatigue 10a [35]

Has been changed to:

Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Pediatric Short Form version 2.0–Fatigue 10a [36]

In Table 2, column 2, row 14, the reference in the following text:

DePaul Symptom Questionnaire Focusing on Post-exertional Malaise (DSQ-PEM) [36]
Has been changed to:
DePaul Symptom Questionnaire Focusing on Post-exertional Malaise (DSQ-PEM) [37]

In Table 2, column 2, row 15, the reference in the following text:

Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) [37], proxy questionnaire (age ≥12 years: self-reported questionnaire)

Has been changed to:

Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) [38], proxy questionnaire age ≥12 years: self-reported questionnaire

The references in following sentences under Patient-Reported Outcome Measures:

The questionnaire comprises 10 items, which are answered on a 5-point Likert scale [35]. A total score is calculated by building the sum of the individual item scores, with higher scores indicating greater fatigue [39]. The DePaul Symptom Questionnaire Focusing on PEM (DSQ-PEM) provides information on the presence of PEM by asking about the frequency and severity of different symptoms [36]. Further, the emotional problems scale of the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) is used to examine mental health. Items are answered on a 3-point Likert scale. By summing up the individual item scores, a total score is determined that indicates whether a patient shows abnormalities for mental problems, with higher scores implying higher risk for abnormalities [37].
