New EuCARE publication in the Lancet Regional Health- Europe
06 February 2024
The reduced mortality from COVID-19 is not necessarily due to lower severity of latest variants, such as Omicron and its sub-variants.
Rather, the reduced mortality seems to be due to other factors, such as immunity from previous vaccinations and previous infections.
This is among the outcomes of the study "Twenty-Eight-Day In-Hospital Mortality During the Wild-type, Alpha, Delta, and Omicron SARS-CoV-2 Waves: A Multinational Cohort Study in the EuCARE Project" published in the latest issue of The Lancet Regional Health Europe.
The study, which analyses data from 38,585 adult patients from the EuCARE Hospitalised cohort, comprising 10 centres across Europe, Kenya and Mexico, also highlighted that age is an important effect measure modifier regarding the association between variant and in-hospital mortality, highlighting the importance of performing age-stratified analyses, also by variant.

The EuCARE Project in Il Sole 24 Ore
20 December 2023
EuCARE and the issue of preparedness on Il Sole 24 Ore, Italy's leading business daily newspaper.
The activities and results achieved after two years of the extensive work done by the whole consortium presented with a special focus placed on the importance of lessons learned in terms of preparedness in the event of a forthcoming pandemic.
In this sense, EuCARE has already collected significant data to be able to guide public stakeholders in adopting truly effective measures that, at the same time, minimise the social and psychological impacts on citizens.
You can find the article in the edition of Il Sole 24 Ore on newsstands on 20 December 2023.
On the World AIDS Day Eurosurveillance publishes a paper from the EuResist Network
1 December 2023
On the World AIDS Day, Eurosurveillance publishes a paper from the EuResist Network, originated within the CARE transnational project.
The paper’s key messages for public health are strong and timely, as war and related people displacement can rapidly change the HIV epidemics:
-
It is important to perform HIV sequence analysis to observe the spread of new subtypes.
-
People originating from Ukraine should be encouraged to be tested for HIV.
-
The high percentage of individuals infected with subtype HIV-1A6 should be taken into account when considering therapy with long-acting injectable HIV medication.
Joint Dialogue on Preparedness
24 October 2023
Are we better prepared for pandemics now? Can the problems we encountered in our experiences with COVID-19 be used to prepare better responses in the future?
Leading experts from EuCARE, RECODID, VAXTRUST, AVITHRAPID projects and from high level insititutions such as WHO, National pandemic coordination centres and top ranking universities and research centres led an interdisciplinary, interactive dialogue and discussed these themes in the Joint Dialogue on Preparedness, organised by EuCARE!
EuCARE Annual Meeting in Lisbon
23-24 October 2023
The EuCARE annual meeting was successfully held on 23th and 24th October 2023, hosted by the Instituto de Higiene e Medicina Tropical - Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, in the presence of our distinguished Scientific and Ethics external Boards.
The very committed and proactive EuCARE partners, arrived in Portugal from all over Europe and even from Brazil, spent the two days of the meeting exchanging ideas on new studies and strategies with a special focus on how to be prepared to face a possible next pandemic.
Thank you all, it is always a great opportunity to meet in person and thus make the meeting even more productive!
Data privacy workshop at Fondation Brocher
19-20 June 2023
The EuCARE workshop: Data privacy, data property, and data sharing: an interdisciplinary dialogue for post-pandemic transnational research was successfully held on 19th and 20th June 2023 at the domain of the Brocher Foundation near Geneva, Switzerland
During two days of highly engaging debate, biomedical scientists advocated for a more research friendly data regulatory environment, whilst lawyers, ethics and IT scientists highlighted the pros and cons of possible solutions, from the very latest AI research, to visionary regulatory oriented solutions looking forward to the next laws that could enhance or further weigh down GDPR.
EuCARE POST COVID-19 Study at ICAR 2023
14-16June 2023
The first results of the EuCARE POST COVID-19 Study presented at the Italian Conference on Aids and Antiviral Research (ICAR)
The EuCARE studies on POST COVID-19 are also approaching the dissemination stage and a presentation (of the preliminary results) will be given at ICAR 2023 (Bari 14-16 June) titled: Long COVID phenotypes and association with SARS CoV-2 variants in the EUCARE-POSTCOVID study”.
A preview of the findings was given to the last "Research to policy meeting on POST-COVID condition" organised by the EU on May 31.

Coordinated by Euresist Network, 25 primary universities, hospitals and ICT research centres are collaborating to provide robust, data driven evidence to deal with SARS-CoV-2 variants and COVID-19 epidemics.
How do SARS-COV-2 variants, coupled with other factors, influence the clinical course of COVID-19? Is there any vaccine or test escape related to variants? Do variants influence, and how, the spread in the school setting? Can we define a better testing and containment strategy in the school setting? What is the impact of containment measures, including schools closure, on pupils and teachers?
With the support of strong immuno-virological and artificial intelligence components, the study will take advantage of large hospital patients, vaccinated healthcare workers and schools’ cohorts in Europe, Kenya, Mexico, Russia and Vietnam to find an answer to urgent issues related to science and society....
CARE
CARE (Common Action against HIV/TB/HCV across the Regions of Europe) aims at analysing and addressing the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), tuberculosis (TB) and hepatitis C (HCV) epidemics across Europe and Russia, by establishing new networks and consolidating previous cooperative actions between the European Union and the Russian Federation.
MDR
The MDR project (HIV multidrug resistance pathways in the EuResist Integrated DataBase) aims at estimating the prevalence and trend over time of MDR (multidrug resistance) in HIV patients, using descriptive statistics, retaining high value because of the large sample size and wide representativeness of the EIDB.
The INTEGRATE project aims at building and maintaining a large, curated collection of virological and clinical data to increase scientific knowledge on resistance to integrase strand transfer inhibitors (InSTI) and on the most appropriate use of this class of antiretroviral agents.
Ciao Andrea.
On Feb 4th 2019, our great friend and EuResister Andrea De Luca lost his life in a horrible car accident, at the age of 55.
One year has passed and still we miss him with incredulity and sorrow.
Among many other projects, Andrea joined EuResist as a key leader soon after its launch, devoting his energy, commitment and capability to the success of the Network. He was an extra lively, smart, passionate, and positive person, always ready to help and take new tasks.
His loss is a huge loss for us, for his patients, for his beloved ones, for the international research community.
Ciao Andrea, we'll always miss you.
