Consortium News
More than 400 randomized clinical trials (RCTs) have been registered on clinicaltrials.gov, many are meant to answer similar questions but lack any method to combine data and evidence. By aggregating evidence across these trials, we can learn about interventions for COVID-19 as quickly and reliably as possible. The COVID-19 Collaboration Platform brings disparate research teams working on the same
Research symposium at Johns Hopkins explores how clinicians can get the most out of advancements in digital health. Researchers with Johns Hopkins Medicine and computer scientists from Johns Hopkins University’s Whiting School of Engineering are analyzing thousands of abdominal scans in an effort to catch pancreatic tumors while they are still operable. Another computer scientist developed an
The success of antiretroviral therapies has extended the lives of people living with HIV, long enough for other chronic health conditions to emerge, including a recently documented uptick in sudden death. Now, in a study comparing medical information and portable EKG patch data from men living with HIV to men without it, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers and collaborators report they have found

The CTSA Collaborative Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) Workgroup identified a need to provide guidance, training and resources in DSMB practices for investigator-initiated research studies. To promote clinical and translational research, the CTSA Collaborative DSMB Workgroup, supported by NCATS, has produced an online DSMB Training Manual with a focus on investigator-initiated studies

BACKGROUND Researchers have had to explore new modes of patient identification and recruitment due to the restrictions and resource limitations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Electronic health record (EHR)-based participant identification and recruitment through patient portal messaging offer potential solutions to help researchers meet recruitment goals without the additional risk of in-person
Many clinical questions have arisen with the COVID-19 pandemic, from who is at greatest risk for COVID-19 infection to adverse outcomes if infected to how COVID-19 has impacted healthcare utilization patterns. To help answer these questions, and many more, the National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C) has integrated real-world clinical observations from across the nation into a harmonized database

Effects of the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension Diet and Sodium Reduction on Blood Pressure in Persons With Diabetes
Elevated blood pressure and blood pressure-related morbidity are extraordinarily common in persons with diabetes. The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension dietary pattern and dietary sodium reduction are recommended as lifestyle interventions in individuals with diabetes. However, these
Use of electronic recruitment methods in a clinical trial of adults with gout
Electronic-based recruitment methods are increasingly utilized in clinical trials to recruit and enroll research participants. The cost-effectiveness of electronic-based methods and impact on sample generalizability is unknown. We compared recruitment yields, cost-effectiveness, and demographic
A systematic review of ultrasound biomicroscopy use in pediatric ophthalmology
Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) is the only available option for noninvasive, high-resolution imaging of the intricate iridociliary complex, and for anterior segment imaging with corneal haze or opacity. While these unique features render UBM essential for specific types of trauma, congenital
Research and Operational Tools
The Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University has created an interactive web-based dashboard to visualize and track reported cases in real-time. It is created in Arcgis.
