SPHN/PHRT Funding for National Data Stream project
The project "Personalized, data-driven prediction and assessment of infection-related outcomes in Swiss ICUs (IICU)", led by Karsten Borgwardt (ETHZ) and Adrian Egli (University Hospital Basel), has been selected as National Data Stream. SPHN and PHRT will jointly fund the project with 5 mio. CHF.
Infections show a range of diverse phenotypes with variable impact on clinical course and outcomes. The IICU project focuses on this heterogeneity within critically ill patients with severe infections using a combined clinical- and data-driven approach for an improved personalized assessment, characterization and outcome prediction on patients with infections. It will integrate rich and diverse data sources to predict a variety of clinical outcomes.
IICU is the follow-up project of the SPHN/PHRT Driver Project "Personalized Swiss Sepsis Study (PSSS)".
