ID-IRI Survey analyzing the deaths of Health Care Workers (HCWs) in 37 countries is accepted for publication in International Journal of Infectious Diseases. 

In the paper, we made a call to WHO Director-General, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus to post national data on their website.

I would like to thank Prof. Daniel Lucey from Georgetown University and as the IDSA counterpart for his great contributions to the study. Moreover, I would like to thank our collaborators in the participating countries for providing their national data.

Thanks to our group.

Best wishes

A NOVEL ID-IRI SCORE: DEVELOPMENT AND INTERNAL VALIDATION OF THE MULTIVARIABLE COMMUNITY ACQUIRED SEPSIS CLINICAL RISK PREDICTION MODEL has been accepted for publication in  European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases. We developed a simplified and easy to use prognostic score for COMMUNITY ACQUIRED SEPSIS PATIENTS named as CAS. I am pleased to tell you that CAS predicts mortality better than APACHE scoring system. I would like to thank Dr Husrev Diktas and Dr. Serhat Uysal for their great contributions to the study.

The patients’ data comes from centers in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, France, Egypt, Hungary, Italy, Kazakhstan, North Macedonia, Puerto Rico, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Turkey, USA.

Many thanks to our group
