nctId: NCT06289660 id: PED-TB22 briefTitle: Multicenter Italian Cohort Study on Tuberculosis in Pediatric Age overallStatus: RECRUITING date: 2022-12-22 date: 2033-01-02 date: 2033-03-01 date: 2024-03-04 date: 2024-03-04 name: Meyer Children's Hospital IRCCS class: OTHER briefSummary: According to the WHO report of 2021, approximately 10 million new cases were reported in 2020, of which 1 million occurred in the pediatric population. However, epidemiological data available on tuberculosis (TB) in pediatric age are extremely limited due to diagnostic challenges in this patient category. Furthermore, children are almost never included in national surveillance systems due to the lack of connections between individual pediatricians, pediatric hospitals, and national surveillance programs. It is therefore reasonable to assume that the disease may be significantly underestimated both in Italy and worldwide. conditions: Tuberculosis Infection studyType: OBSERVATIONAL observationalModel: COHORT timePerspective: PROSPECTIVE count: 1000 type: ESTIMATED measure: Epidemiology of Tuberculosis sex: ALL minimumAge: 1 Week maximumAge: 18 Years stdAges: CHILD stdAges: ADULT facility: Meyer Children's Hospital IRCCS status: RECRUITING city: Florence state: Firenze zip: 50139 country: Italy name: Luisa Galli role: CONTACT email: luisa.galli@meyer.it lat: 43.77925 lon: 11.24626 facility: Ospedale Pediatrico Giovanni XXIII status: RECRUITING city: Bari country: Italy name: Desiree Caselli role: CONTACT email: desiree.caselli@policlinico.ba.it lat: 41.11148 lon: 16.8554 facility: Ospedale di Belluno status: RECRUITING city: Belluno country: Italy name: Giangiacomo Nicolini role: CONTACT email: gnicolini@gmail.com lat: 46.14262 lon: 12.2156 facility: Università di Bologna status: RECRUITING city: Bologna country: Italy name: Marcello Lanari role: CONTACT email: marcello.lanari@unibo.it lat: 44.49381 lon: 11.33875 facility: IRCCS Istituto Giannina Gaslini status: RECRUITING city: Genova country: Italy name: Elio Castagnola role: CONTACT email: eliocastagnola@gaslini.org lat: 44.40478 lon: 8.94438 facility: Fondazione IRCCS Ca' Granda, Ospedale Maggiore, Policlinico status: RECRUITING city: Milano country: Italy name: Samantha Bosis, MD role: CONTACT email: samantha.bosis@policlinico.mi.it lat: 45.46427 lon: 9.18951 facility: Ospedale Luigi Sacco status: RECRUITING city: Milano country: Italy name: Vania Giacomet role: CONTACT email: vania.giacomet@unimi.it lat: 45.46427 lon: 9.18951 facility: Policlinico di Modena status: RECRUITING city: Modena country: Italy name: Barbara Maria Bergamini role: CONTACT email: bergamini.barbaramaria@unimo.it lat: 44.64783 lon: 10.92539 facility: Università Federico II status: RECRUITING city: Napoli country: Italy name: Andrea Lo Vecchio role: CONTACT email: andrea.lovecchio@unina.it lat: 40.85216 lon: 14.26811 facility: Ospedale dei Bambini "G.Di Cristina" status: RECRUITING city: Palermo country: Italy name: Claudia Colomba, MD role: CONTACT email: claudia.colomba@unipa.it lat: 38.13205 lon: 13.33561 facility: Ospedale di Parma status: RECRUITING city: Parma country: Italy name: Susanna Maria Roberta Esposito role: CONTACT email: susannamariaroberta.esposito@unipr.it lat: 44.79935 lon: 10.32618 facility: IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo status: RECRUITING city: Pavia country: Italy name: Gian Luigi Marseglia role: CONTACT email: gl.marseglia@smatteo.pv.it lat: 45.19205 lon: 9.15917 facility: Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria Pisana status: RECRUITING city: Pisa country: Italy name: Diego Peroni role: CONTACT email: diego.peroni@unipi.it lat: 43.70853 lon: 10.4036 facility: Azienda USL Toscana Centro status: RECRUITING city: Prato country: Italy name: Per Luigi Vasarri role: CONTACT email: pvasarri@usl4.toscana.it lat: 43.8805 lon: 11.09699 facility: IRCCS Ospedale Pediatrico Bambin Gesù status: RECRUITING city: Roma country: Italy name: Laura Lancella role: CONTACT email: laura.lancella@opbg.net lat: 41.89193 lon: 12.51133 facility: Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS status: RECRUITING city: Roma country: Italy name: Danilo Buonsenso, MD role: CONTACT email: danilo.buonsenso@policlinicogemelli.it lat: 41.89193 lon: 12.51133 facility: Ospedale Regina Margherita status: RECRUITING city: Torino country: Italy name: Silvia Garazzino role: CONTACT email: silvia.garazzino@unito.it lat: 45.07049 lon: 7.68682 hasResults: False
