Abstract

The EPICO-SEHOP platform gathers data from children with SARS-CoV-2 in Spain, allowing comparison between children with cancer or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) and those without. The infection is milder in the cancer/alloHSCT group than in children without comorbidities (7.1% vs. 15%), except in children with recent alloHSCT (less than 300 days), of which 35.7% experienced severe COVID-19. These data have been shared with the SEHOP members to support treatment and isolation policies akin to those for children without cancer, except for those with recent alloHSCT or additional comorbidities. This highlights the collaborative registries potential in managing pandemic emergencies.
