Research drives medical innovation and safety, but the research process can be tough and takes place in silos. Some researchers cannot find projects or the support they need, while others cannot find funding to support their research.
We are here to facilitate research. We have established a platform that connects researchers to projects. Think of it as a two-way marketplace for research projects.
Perioperative research is our passion. We want the name, position and place of work of the researcher not to matter, we want to democratise research.
You can join national and regional audits on topics related to perioperative medicine. Having the same audit in multiple hospitals means that results can be pooled, compared and published in high impact journals.
REDGERM promotes clinical research through annual research grants. All projects submitted will be evaluated and have the possibility of funding.
REDGERM allows collaboration for studies in which a large number of hospitals and/or patients need to be recruited. All studies related to perioperative medicine are welcome.
REDGERM updates you on those European research projects in which you could participate.

Moped Study

Management and Outcomes of Perioperative Care of European Diabetic Patients.

MOPED is a prospective, international, multicentre, observational cohort study. This study will include as many participating institutions as possible across the world. It is planned to recruit at least 5,000 patients.

Chief Investigator

Prof. Donal J Buggy (Mater University Hospital, University College Dublin, Ireland)

Timeline

  • Call for centres: Ongoing
  • Recruitment of patients: foreseen for 2021

Study Objectives

The main is to conduct the first major observational European epidemiological study on the perioperative management of diabetic patients undergoing surgery and their 30-day postoperative patient-centred outcome.

Join the Study

Would your hospital like to join this study as an actively contributing research centre? The ‘Call for Centres form’ must be filled in online. The completion of this form will facilitate coordination and is mandatory for participation in ESAIC CTN. ESAIC Secretariat will then contact you providing you with additional information.

The ENCORE Study

ENCORE trial (Effects of aNesthesia in COloREctal cancer outcome trial) The effects of anaesthetic techniques on time to start of adjuvant chemotherapy, and early- and late outcomes following surgery for colorectal cancer. A prospective, multicenter, international, observational, pragmatic study.

The main objective of this international, observational study is to determine if anaesthesia technique (epidural vs no epidural or inhalational vs total intravenous) or surgical technique (laparoscopic vs open surgery) has any benefits for patients in term of the earlier start of adjuvant chemotherapy and improved short- or long-term outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for colorectal cancer (stage I-III).

Chief Investigator

Prof. Max Bell (Associate Professor, Senior Lecturer, Department of Perioperative Medicine and Surgical services, Karolinska University Hospital, Solna, Sweden; Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, Karolinska Institutet)
