2021-04-07 - Breaking the 3000 barrier!


2021-03-19

A mathematical model to probabilistically predict the length of intensive care unit stay of COVID-19 patients based on the Swiss RISC-19-ICU data has been published by our colleagues from the University of Bern and the Cantonal Hospital of St. Gallen.

2020-12-02 - 2000 critically ill COVID-19 patients recruited and counting!


2020-07-06

The initial report of the European RISC-19-ICU data has been analyzed and published at https://www.thelancet.com/journals/eclinm/article/PIIS2589-5370(20)30193-0/fulltext or https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32838231/. We wish to extend a big thank you to the hard working colleagues in the participating ICUs that have taken part in the RISC-19-ICU Investigator group to make these and further insights into the novel disease possible.


2020-05-19 - We have reached the 1000 mark! Thanks to all collaborators for their unmeasurable work!

A description of the methodology used in the predictions for https://www.icumonitoring.ch/ that includes Swiss RISC-19-ICU data has been published by the Van Boeckel group at ETHZ. Read the open-access paper at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/32374886

Near real-time data from the RISC-19-ICU registry is used in a mathematical model developed at ETHZ to predict ICU bed capacity in Switzerland. For up-to-date information see https://www.icumonitoring.ch/

The RISC-19-ICU registry has obtained the mandate by the Swiss Society of Intensive Care Medicine (SGI/SSMI) to continuously collect a core dataset on COVID-19 patients admitted to Swiss ICUs. We hope to provide insights into the developing pandemic and contribute to informed decision-making through ongoing risk stratification.


2020-03-15
New centers are continuously added, currently from France, Italy, The Netherlands, Spain and Switzerland


2020-03-14

We are glad to announce that Prof. Thierry Fumeaux, President of the Swiss Society of Intensive Care Medicine, has joined the board of the RISC-19-ICU registry.
New centers added: Ancona, Italy; Nancy, France; University of Zurich, Switzerland


2020-03-13

The registry went live! First patients are being added at the University Hospital of Zurich, Switzerland
