The University of Pécs (PTE) announced on Monday the completion of a research project worth almost one and a half billion forints, which has been taking place at three rural universities for four years and is intended to increase the chances of survival of the most deadly diseases.
In its communication to MTI, the institution recalled that PTE and its consortium partners, the University of Debrecen and the University of Szeged, received HUF 1.494 billion in non-refundable support from the Economic Development and Innovation Operational Program (Ginop) in 2017 for four years. ongoing research project.
Research has focused on the chances of survival of acute pancreatitis, cerebrovascular accident, and heart failure as a disease with a prominent mortality rate.
As a result of the project, professionals working in laboratories and at the bedside brought together and collected patient data and samples in hospitals. These were systematized by the researchers and subjected to further studies. After analyzing the data, their scientific results were presented in internationally recognized journals.
The statement quoted Péter Hegyi, professional leader of the Stay Alive project, head of the Institute of Translational Medicine at PTE: based on the results, experts can make recommendations on the most effective treatment for the most dangerous diseases.
PTE indicated in a previous press release about the program that serious, acute, life-threatening illnesses are associated with unacceptably high mortality rates of 30 to 50 percent, despite current medical interventions. Reducing the rate can be improved by introducing so-called translational medicine; the aim is to make the results of basic research and clinical research useful in patient care as soon as possible.
An important part of clinical research is the collection of patient data – these are available in several patients for acute cerebral catastrophe, acute pancreatitis, and myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death – while three clinical trials have been launched in addition to the operating patient registries. on the subject.
According to the communication at the time, the project would contribute to the use of scientific results in clinical practice, shorten hospital stays for patients, improve mortality rates, and ultimately reduce the cost of health care.
