EnglishProject description
The objectives of the project were to strengthen COVID-19 surveillance at primary care and hospital level, to identify risk factors for COVID-19 hospitalisation and to measure COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness at primary care and hospital level.
Context situation
In the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, 22 institutions (public health institutes, national reference laboratories, primary care sentinel surveillance networks, hospitals) from 12 European countries came together to build the I-MOVE-COVID-19 consortium. Under the Epiconcept coordination, the Consortium organised its activities in work packages: 1/ primary care surveillance, 2/ hospital network surveillance, 3/ Risk factors and vaccine effectiveness studies.
Project activities
Strengthening COVID-19 primary care surveillance
development of a generic surveillance protocol, analysis of surveillance data, evaluation of the surveillance network.
Strengthening COVID-19 at hospital level
development of a generic surveillance protocol, analysis of surveillance data, evaluation of the surveillance network.
Study on risk factors for severe COVID-19
multicentre cohort study measuring the risk of severe COVID-19 among patients hospitalised for COVID-19.
COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness studies (at hospital and primary care level)
Multicentre studies using a test-negative design to measure the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccines
