PERSEVERE (Genomic analysis of pediatric systemic inflammatory response syndrome)

Multicenter study including patients 1 months to 10 years of age admitted to the PICU with SIRS or sepsis. The purpose of the study is to determine if outcomes in pediatric sepsis are influence by any specific genetic makeup of the individual.

ICARE (The Interdisciplinary Cardiac Arrest Research Review)

The Interdisciplinary Cardiac Arrest Research Review (ICARE) group was formed in 2018 to conduct a systematic annual search of peer-reviewed literature relevant to cardiac arrest (CA). The goals of the review are to illustrate best practices and help reduce knowledge silos by disseminating clinically relevant advances in the field of CA across disciplines.
