Declarations
:
: Our investigations were carried out following the rules of the Declaration of Helsinki of 1975, revised in 2013. According to Italian legislation, ethical approval for a single case is not required, as long as the data are kept anonymous and the investigations performed do not imply genetic results.
: The current Italian legislation requires neither the family’s consent nor ethical approval for a single case, as long as the data are strictly kept anonymous. Because summoning the parents was not possible, as it would badly interfere with the grieving process, the parents’ consent was completely waived, according to the Italian Authority of Privacy and Data Protection (“Garante della Privacy”: GDPR nr 679/2016; 9/2016 and recent law addition number 424/19 July 2018; ).
: The authors declare no competing interests.
