Research paper from PERFORM predecessor project, EUCLIDS awarded best paper of the year by the Spanish Paediatric Infectious Disease Society

17 March 2021

On March 15th, Prof Federico Martinón-Torres of our partners at Servizio Galego de Saude accepted the award given via video conference by the Spanish Paediatric Infectious Disease Society for the paper titled, “Life-threatening infections in children in Europe (the EUCLIDS Project): a prospective cohort study”. The paper which was published in The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health, is a resulting research output of PERFORM’s predecessor project, EUCLIDS and investigates the burden of disease and outcomes in children with life-threatening bacterial infections in Europe.

Collaborative research for the authors has continued on from EUCLIDS into PERFORM and its sister, EU-funded project, DIAMONDS. Almost 15 years of collaboration is testament to the dedication of the authors’ and as Prof Martinón-Torres said “this is truly a very special paper. It is a true team effort and reflects the huge effort of each participating country, site, hospital, team, nurse, and lab.” Prof Martinón-Torres goes on to say “this fruitful collaboration we have started so many years ago has allowed us to become such a strong research consortium and even better, an amazing group of friends committed to PID research. I am so proud of all.”
