During 2021, CRIPS have developed basic, translational and clinical research in the field of the COVID-19 infection, including long-COVID-19, and therapeutics and management options to improve the outcome of infected subjects. Additionally, we conducted systematic reviews and meta-analysis to improve strategies to diagnose, prevent, improve management and solve clinical problems related to respiratory infections, sepsis & other severe infectious diseases, including immune-phenotypes in influenza and other respiratory viruses. CRIPS was conducting multidisciplinary & network research projects on ARDS, quality and implementation of clinical practice guidelines, definitions validation and algorithms of ventilator-associated events, including the children’s ICU. Likewise, we lead education & advanced research in critical care, sepsis & solid organ transplants.
