The survey included relevant questions to: i) assess pediatric transplantation activity, including living-donation issues; ii) identify the protocols adopted to prevent and manage SARS-CoV-2 infection at the hospital level; iii) evaluate the impact of these practices on the healthcare of transplanted children; and iv), describe the management of confirmed COVID-19 cases among the special population of pediatric transplant recipients and candidates. In eight centers (44%) outpatient visits were performed only after a telephone pretriage excluding epidemiological (e.g., close contact with a known COVID-19 case) and clinical risk factors (e.g., ongoing fever or respiratory symptoms in the patient or in the caregiver) for SARS-CoV-2 infection.
