Abstract

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic is causing a global health emergency. Health systems are under extreme pressure because of the outbreak. Pediatric population seems to be less prone to develop a severe course of the disease. Still the information about COVID-19 infection and children affected by cancer are few.

Aim: This survey aims to highlight preventive and control measures to manage COVID-19 infection in Italian Pediatric Oncology and Hematology Association (AIEOP) centers.

Methods: A multicenter, descriptive survey design was used. All the AIEOP centers were invited to complete an on-line survey. Data collection was performed between March 15, 2020 and April 15, 2020.

Results: Thirty six out of 48 centers responded to the survey. All the centers implemented similar preventive measures in order to control the COVID-19 spread and 77.8% of centers have created structured pathways, specific protocols or procedures; 30% of centers reduced the number of inpatient beds and 90% outpatient activity. The prevalence data collected report 14 children positive and 35 healthcare professionals positive.

Discussion: COVID-19 is not spreading homogeneously in Italy and children are less infected. It will be necessary to define new processes and new strategies to ensure safety and continuity of care to children affected by cancer, even in the future, when the lockdown will end, and new measures will be implemented.

[意大利儿童血液学和肿瘤学中心的Covid-19疫情管理:护士主导的AIEOP全国调查]。
导言:2019冠状病毒病大流行正在引发全球卫生紧急情况。由于疫情爆发,卫生系统面临极大压力。儿科人群似乎不太容易发展成严重的病程。然而,关于COVID-19感染和受癌症影响的儿童的信息很少。目的:本调查旨在突出意大利儿童肿瘤和血液学协会(AIEOP)中心COVID-19感染的预防和控制措施。方法:采用多中心描述性调查设计。所有AIEOP中心被邀请完成一项在线调查。数据收集时间为2020年3月15日至2020年4月15日。结果:48个中心中有36个回应了调查。所有中心都实施了类似的预防措施,以控制COVID-19的传播,77.8%的中心建立了结构化的途径、具体的协议或程序;30%的中心减少了住院病床数量和90%的门诊活动。收集的流行率数据显示,14名儿童呈阳性,35名保健专业人员呈阳性。讨论:COVID-19在意大利的传播并不均匀,儿童感染较少。有必要确定新的流程和新的战略,以确保对受癌症影响的儿童的安全和持续护理,即使在未来封锁结束并实施新措施时也是如此。
