A correction has appeared in BMJ Open for a UK/Dutch study published in 2015.
Esther Crawley was one of the original studies authors.

The “Ethics approval” statement in this article has been amended to read:Ethics approval: The patient data used in this study were collected as part of routine clinical practice and anonymised for the National Outcomes Database. Under the Governance Arrangements for Research Ethics Committees {September 2011), ethical review is not required for research limited to the use of previously collected, non-identifiable patient information.

In addition, the following two sentences have been amended.

  • The second paragraph under Strengths and limitations should read “Adults and children were from specialist CFS/ME services in the UK and the Netherlands, so the results may not be generalisable to other settings, such as primary care.

  • The second sentence of second paragraph under Discussion should read “Adults and children were from specialist CFS/ME services in the UK and the Netherlands, so the results may not be generalisable to other settings, such as primary care.”

More whitewashing. Still listed under research. Retroactive exemption from having failed basic (optional) requirements.

The original article doesn't appear to have been updated so one would have to look for the correction to find it. This is all a sham. Zero respect for the most basic requirements, complete disregard for patient safety. This is all a joke to them.
 
Given EC conflates chronic fatigue and PVF with ME it is little wonder that children are not ill as long as adults.
There is also the statistical gem , if I can remember correctly, that in paediatrics 80% recover naturally and 80% recover as a result of specialist input. ( I could be wrong, sleep is an issue)
