Declarations

:

: The study was launched after approval by the Ethical Committee of “Sapienza” University of Rome, Italy (December 2020, reference n. 6185, Prot. 0936/2020).Participants were informed about the aim of the study, and a written consent was obtained for each patient, if the enrollment took place within a context where the patient or a parent of the patient was present. Written consent in young adults was provided by patients themselves; in case of patients under 18, a parental written consent and an age-adapted written consent were obtained; different information leaflets about the study were available in plain language and suitable for different age groups.Where contacting data subjects to provide them with information on the processing of their data has proved impossible on organizational grounds, the processing of personal data was done without their informed consent on the basis of General Authorization to Process Personal Data for Scientific Research Purposes—1 March 2012.The study was performed in accordance with the ethical standards as laid down in the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki and its later amendments or comparable ethical standards.
