Ongoing Projects
ACHERON
Analysis of Chances and Harms in Emergency Replacement of Organs
Patient-oriented consultation in preparation for acute and intensive medical care at the end of life is essential. This consultation can take place in a structured manner and with the involvement of GPs. However, structured counseling concepts in accordance with the principles of evidence-based medicine are currently not possible due to a lack of central epidemiological data, such as the annual survival rate after intensive care treatment. In the ACHERON project, the annual survival rates of patients treated in intensive care are to be analyzed using health insurance data.
AdaptNet
Adaptation and networking of primary care and specialist care with regard to the health effects of climate change
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century. It is also leading to changes in health risks in Germany: Heat waves and other extreme weather will become more frequent. This poses major challenges for the healthcare system. A program to adapt medical care to climate change is being developed and implemented. The health effects of climate change in the Nuremberg region are also being examined in detail as an example of an urban agglomeration.
ChroMo
Monitoring routines for people with chronic diseases: examine the situation and plan for the future

CoVaKo
Safety of COVID-19 combination vaccinations (CoVaKo combination vaccination)
The aim was to actively record side effects and adverse events after a Covid vaccination compared to vaccinations that have been used for a longer period of time, such as influenza, pneumococci, etc. The focus was on adverse events that led to medical care, medication or incapacity to work.
