The European Sleep Apnoea Database (ESADA) ERS Clinical Research Collaboration: past, present and future
2018
There are some critical issues that determine the sustainability of the ESADA project in the long term. We need to develop strategies to maintain high data quality and enable new research activities related to the database. Funding may be provided by public and academic institutions or by collaborations with industry. We plan to submit EU research or public health projects, and cooperation with other cohorts will help to reach the critical mass necessary to cover the entire European area. Again, the CRC is a very good opportunity to pursue this goal, not only for the visibility provided by the endorsement of a leading society like the ERS, but also for the practical support in submission of…

Participatory tools and methods for community action. SESPAS Report 2018
2018
Resumen: La participación es un proceso que requiere la implicación de responsables de la política, del personal directivo y técnico de las instituciones, y de la ciudadanía, así como de la acción intersectorial e interdisciplinaria. Para generar cambios transformadores es necesaria una infraestructura que favorezca la participación y la acción planificada, reconociendo a todos los actores del proceso. Se precisan tiempo y compromiso para su continuidad a través de la producción conjunta de acciones, y de ahí la importancia de consolidar proyectos participativos que continúen más allá de los cambios políticos para que los servicios públicos sean sostenibles. La formación, el uso adecuado de…
Cohort profile: Thrombolysis in Ischemic Stroke Patients (TRISP): a multicentre research collaboration
2018
PurposeThe ThRombolysis in Ischemic Stroke Patients (TRISP) collaboration aims to address clinically relevant questions about safety and outcomes of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and endovascular thrombectomy. The findings can provide observational information on treatment of patients derived from everyday clinical practice.ParticipantsTRISP is an open, investigator-driven collaborative research initiative of European stroke centres with expertise in treatment with revascularisation therapies and maintenance of hospital-based registries. All participating centres made a commitment to prospectively collect data on consecutive patients with stroke treated with IVT using standardised definiti…
Predictive value for cardiovascular events of common carotid intima media thickness and its rate of change in individuals at high cardiovascular risk…
2018
AIMS: Carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) predicts cardiovascular (CVD) events, but the predictive value of CIMT change is debated. We assessed the relation between CIMT change and events in individuals at high cardiovascular risk. METHODS AND RESULTS: From 31 cohorts with two CIMT scans (total n = 89070) on average 3.6 years apart and clinical follow-up, subcohorts were drawn: (A) individuals with at least 3 cardiovascular risk factors without previous CVD events, (B) individuals with carotid plaques without previous CVD events, and (C) individuals with previous CVD events. Cox regression models were fit to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) of the combined endpoint (myocardial infarction, s…
Structured Reporting in Clinical Routine.
2018
The radiology report is the key component in the communication between radiologists and referring clinicians. Traditionally, reports are written as free text. Several studies have shown that structured reporting using dedicated report templates has a number of advantages compared to conventional reports. Therefore, many radiological societies have recommended the implementation of structured reporting in clinical routine. In the meantime, collections of freely available templates have been presented and software solutions for structured reporting have been made commercially available. These allow for quality improvements in the written radiology report as they ensure that all relevant clin…
