Clinical Epidemiology and Health Services Research
About
The Clinical Epidemiology and Health Services Research Core helps researchers access and interpret the comprehensive database of the UW HIV Cohort Study.
The UW HIV Cohort is an ongoing observational study of HIV-infected patients who have received primary care in the UW Madison HIV Clinic and the UW Virology Clinic from January 1, 1995 to the present. Using a database (UW HIV Information System) integrating clinical data and banked specimens, the Core supports researchers requiring longitudinal HIV/AIDS patient information and expertise in clinical epidemiology and health services research.
The database can be used to identify patients for enrollment into interventional studies; for retrospective and prospective observational studies; and for basic and translational research. Cohort Study data can also help investigators assess study feasibility, prepare grant proposals, and conduct clinical research. Data commonly requested include laboratory results, diagnoses, medications, genotypic resistance, demographic characteristics, eligibility for prospective trials, and availability of linked specimens.
Activities
The Clinical and Epidemiology and Health Services Research Core is involved in a variety of national and international HIV research collaborations.
- International epidemiologic Databases to Evaluate AIDS/North American AIDS Cohort Collaboration on Research and Design (IeDEA/NA-ACCORD) — Data Management Core
- CFAR Network of Integrated Clinical Systems (CNICS) — Data Management Core
- Antiretroviral Therapy - Cohort Collaboration (ART-CC) — Participating Cohort
