Rede Colaborativa Para Geração de Evidência Científica em COVID-19 Para o Sistema Único de Saúde no Brasil - RECOVER SUS-BRASIL

The RECOVER SUS-BRASIL network, made up of excellent academic and research institutions, was formed in response to the emergence of unprecedented public health related to SARS-CoV-2. The Network's objectives are the production of scientific knowledge, the technical and scientific strengthening of participating centers, the sharing of information and experiences with other assistance services and the generation of evidence for public health policies in Brazil. The present proposal aims to increase the magnitude of the Network, proposing two studies to assess the epidemic of COVID-19 in Brazil. The first study deals with the establishment of a prospective cohort of patients hospitalized for COVID-19. Through using standardized data collection procedures, biological samples and biomarkers, this study will be able to describe clinical presentation, severity, risk factors for worsening of the disease. Multiple clinical outcomes of severity of disease, organ dysfunction, hospital mortality, length of hospital stay, hospital readmission and early post-discharge death. Will be biomarkers of inflammation, cellular and humoral immunity were also evaluated to study their association with clinical outcomes, variability of SARS-CoV-2 and the development of immunity in infected individuals through the detection and titration of neutralizing antibodies anti-SARS-CoV-2. The second study 2 will evaluate the COVID-19 epidemic in people living with HIV / AIDS, using SUS databases, such as SIM, SICLOM and SISCEL. This study is particularly relevant since on the one hand it includes a population potentially at greater risk of developing severe forms of the disease, given their underlying condition, as, on the other hand, they are exposed chronically to drugs that could potentially have an effect on SARS-CoV-2. Finally, a major objective of RECOVER SUS-BRASIL is integrate technical and scientific capacities generating scientific production of high relevance and impact and strengthening health and science throughout the country.
