New open-access COVID-19 dataset supports reproducible clinical research

The DIVINE cohort is the result of a collaborative effort involving clinicians, researchers and biostatisticians from several Catalan healthcare and academic institutions. The project began during the first wave of the pandemic with the creation of a data collection system by the Infectious Diseases Service at Bellvitge University Hospital and biostatisticians from the Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBELL), and was subsequently expanded through the participation of additional institutions. Researchers from IGTP, Bellvitge University Hospital, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Universitat de Barcelona, Consorci Sanitari Integral, Consorci Sanitari Alt Penedès Garraf, Viladecans Hospital, Parc Sanitari Sant Joan de Déu Institute for Research and Innovation in Life and Health Sciences in Central Catalonia and the CIBER in Infectious Diseases participated in this work, representing the MetroSud and DIVINE groups.
