Running R+D Activities:

Epidemiological Projects for ICU Research and Evaluation
[EPICURE]
designs databases and implements research projects in the subject of
the epidemiology of the critically ill.

We are currently focusing on:

Mortality:

Epidemiological Analysis of the post-ICU Occult Mortality in Critically Ill Patients.
Validation of APACHE II, SAPS II and MPM II as predictors of in-hospital mortality after successful ICU discharge .
Mortality prediction in head trauma patients by general severity systems.
Hospital mortality after ICU discharge compared to ICU mortality: A survival analysis.

Severity of Illness:

Levels of severity at ICU discharge related those at ICU admission: Criterion for ICU discharge?.
Relationships between the 3 different versions of Therapeutic Intervention Scoring System (TISS).

Quality of Life:

Outcomes Assessment Related To Levels Of Severity In Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery Of Miocardial Revascularization By Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.

Predictive Models:

Machine Learning Inspired Approaches to Combine Standard Medical Measures at an Intensive Care Unit.
Using Bayesian networks in the construction of a bi-level multi-classifier.

Toxicological Studies:

The ENCANTO Study.
