| Description |
Pedianet is an organized network of more than 400 family pediatricians in Italy aimed to collect anonymous data from the electronic system they use in their daily activities to be used for clinical and epidemiological research. Informed written consent is requested to child's parents/tutors for the data collection and centralized analysis. It is possible to add additional questions in future timepoints. |
