Statement of Informed Consent

The authors of the articles will respect the patients’ right to privacy. Any identifying information – such as names, initials etc. – should not be published in written material or photographs unless the information is essential for scientific purposes and the patient (parent/guardian) gives written informed consent for publication. However, identifying details should be omitted if they are not essential.

Informed consent for this purpose requires that a patient who is identifiable be shown the manuscript to be published.
