Epidemiology and Public Health

The broad purpose of the Epidemiology and Public Health research group is contributing to increase the available scientific evidence regarding preventive interventions, to promote health, and prevent morbidity and mortality from major diseases. Our group uses epidemiological methods to study etiology, surveillance, and efficacy of these interventions. We are primarily focused on epidemiology and prevention of infectious diseases, in both individual and population levels.
Main lines of research:

Vaccines: This research line includes the organization, participation and collaboration in different clinical trials related to the evaluation of the immunogenicity, efficacy and safety of different vaccines (e.g. Herpes Zoster, Respiratory Syncytial Virus, Influenza, Covid-19).
The epidemiology and prevention of healthcare acquired infections: This research line includes the evaluation of risk factors, characteristics, evolution, host, and impact of these infections.
Clinical Epidemiology of Multiple Sclerosis: The objective of this project is to characterize the epidemiology of Multiple Sclerosis in Catalonia.

Research lines

Clinical epidemiology of Multiple Sclerosis

To characterize the epidemiology of multiple sclerosis (MS) in Catalonia, a prospective registry of new cases of MS in Catalonia was set up in 2009 with the participation of 21 hospitals throughout Catalonia. Prevalence and incidence studies based on this population-based registry are being performed. Recently, and in collaboration with the Center of Multiple Sclerosis of Catalonia (Cemcat), we have set up a prospective registry of vaccination in patients with Immuno-Mediated Inflammatory Disease (IMID) who are candidates for biological treatment with the aim of evaluating vaccine immunogenicity and safety that will allow establishing the best vaccination strategy. In addition, we will study the prevalence and impact of comorbidity on Multiple Sclerosis prognosis.

Epidemiology of hospital-acquired infections

Includes the evaluation of risk factors, features, evolution, host, and impact of these infections. The group has been pioneer in the organization of a national prevalence surveillance project for nosocomial infections (EPINE) that is underway since 1990, allowing the analysis and monitoring of this data for investigational purposes. We are currently working in a multilevel analysis to evaluate the characteristics associated with nosocomial infections due to antibiotic resistant microorganisms, based on data of EPINE study (PI15/00787). We are also involved in the national study of device-related infections in intensive care units (ENVIN-Helics).

Vaccines

The group has participated in different phase II, III and IV clinical trials focused on the study of the immunogenicity, efficacy and safety of several preventive vaccines (e.g. influenza, human papilloma virus, hepatitis B, herpes zoster, respiratory syncytial virus…). Currently, our group has expanded its line of research on the adjuvanted recombinant Herpes Zoster vaccine testing its safety and immunogenicity in pediatric immunosuppressed patients and adults =50 years of age with a prior episode of Herpes Zoster. Regarding observational studies, the group is leading a population study about the incidence of herpes zoster by risk groups (PI15/02273). Our team has also started a new line of investigation for a Respiratory Syncytial Virus vaccine in healthy pregnant women.
