COPLAS 2018: 1st Conference of Latin American Population Cohorts for the study of Chronic Diseases the birth of the Consortium
The Advanced Center for Chronic Diseases (ACCDiS), and its MAUCO Cohort, organized the “I Conference of Latin American Population Cohorts for the study of Chronic Diseases (COPLAS)”. This scientific meeting had 62 researchers responsible for 18 different cohorts in Latin America together with representatives of international research centers who were convened from Wednesday 4 to Friday 6 April at the Termas de Quinamávida, Maule Region, Chile.
El propósito de COPLAS fue identificar, entre las cohortes latinoamericanas ya existentes, espacios de colaboración con el propósito de potenciar la investigación y la transferencia y aplicabilidad de sus resultados a diferentes sectores de las comunidades estudiadas y de sus países. La realización de COPLAS fue el primer paso para lograr un acuerdo de colaboración efectiva, justa y duradera entre las cohortes presentes, con miras a la formación de un “Consorcio de Cohortes Latinoamericanas”.
Durante el desarrollo de este encuentro científico se realizaron conferencias y sesiones plenarias en las que se presentaron las experiencias de cada cohorte, sus limitaciones y desafíos en el contexto de los países latinoamericanos. A la vez, se desarrollaron mesas redondas para la discusión de aspectos teórico-metodológicos vinculados con este tipo de estudios, entre ellos población y muestras estudiadas; instrumentos para recolección de información de las personas y biobancos; almacenamiento de datos y sistemas de información; manejo y reporte de hallazgos de salud; limitaciones y ventajas de intervenciones de salud en las cohortes; seguimiento de eventos adversos; manejo de los datos; mantención de los participantes e inserción en la población, y análisis de datos longitudinales, entre otras.
En las jornadas de trabajo de COPLAS estuvieron presentes el Dr. Sergio Lavandero, Director de ACCDiS, la Dra. Catterina Ferreccio, subdirectora de ACCDIS y directora de la Cohorte del Maule (MAUCO) autoridades locales y regionales, como la alcaldesa de Molina, Sra. Priscilla Castillo el Prof. Diego Durán Jara, Rector de la Universidad Católica del Maule. Todas las autoridades destacaron la profunda relevancia e impacto de este tipo de encuentros en Sudamérica y el mundo.
In this way, the organizers of COPLAS expressed their commitment to maintaining and strengthening the collaborative work started at this meeting. Defining that the second conference would be held in Peru, in 2020 under the coordination of researchers from the Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia.
