Following concerns regarding the originality of the article, an investigation was conducted in accordance with Frontiers' policies.

Validation of the Slovakian Version of the “Post-acute (Long) COVID-19 Quality of Life Instrument” and Pilot Study. Patient Preference and Adherence. 2023. doi: 10.2147/PPA.S404377
