Paediatric Clinical Research Infrastructure Network (PedCRIN)
Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2020,
Children’s health is a major societal challenge for Europe and the world, requiring development of paediatric medicines and treatments strategies based on evidence derived from clinical trials demonstrating efficacy and safety in infants and children, rather than on uncritical extrapolation from adult data (over 50 % of the medicines used for children had not been tested in this specific age group ...

Treatment of late onset bacterial sepsis caused by vancomycin susceptible bacteria in neonates and infants aged under three months (NEOVANC)
Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2019,
Vancomycin is the critically important antibiotic to treat neonatal Late Onset Sepsis (LOS) due to Gram positive bacteria in neonates, including Coagulase Negative Staphylococci (CoNS) and Staphylococcus aureus. These organisms also create biofilms which are extremely resistant to antibiotics. The increased incidence of LOS due to bacteria such as CoNS and MRSA in NICUs has led to a marked increas ...

European Medical Information Framework (EMIF)
Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2017,
In response to the need to tackle increasingly complex medical research questions, a growing amount of human health data is being collected, either in routine Electronic Healthcare Record (EHR) databases, through research-driven cohort studies, in biobanks or related efforts. However, data sources are typically fragmented and contain information gaps which prevent their full exploitation. EMIF aim ...

European multicenter network to evaluate pharmacokinetics, safety and efficacy of Meropenem in neonatal sepsis and meningitis (NEOMERO)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2015,
Previous studies have demonstrated the high frequency of bacterial sepsis in neonates and infants admitted to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), often associated with serious complications or death. Many pathogens capable of causing nosocomial bacterial sepsis in neonates and young infants have developed resistance to the antibiotics considered of choice for treatment. Meropenem is an antibiotic ...

The aim of the project was to develop a European Virtual learning Environment (VLE) which would act as the portal for the delivery of a structured online European Medical Postgraduate educational training programme to junior doctors who are training to be neonatal specialists. Having gained approval from the European Academy of Paediatrics it is anticipated that this innovation has the potential ...
