This scientific meeting attended by 62 researchers responsible for 18 different cohorts in Latin America along with representatives of international research centers which were convened from Wednesday 4 to Friday 6 April in the hot springs of Quinamávida, Maule region, Chile.
The purpose of VERSES was to identify, among the existing Latin American cohorts, collaboration spaces with the purpose of promoting research and transfer, and applicability of the results to different sectors of the communities studied and their countries. The realization of VERSES was the first step to achieve an effective agreement, just and lasting between the present cohort, with a view to the formation of a "consortium of cohorts Latin-American".
During the development of this scientific meeting is conducted conferences and plenary sessions in which each cohort experiences were presented, limitations and challenges in the context of the Latin American countries. At the same time, round tables for discussion of methodological aspects linked to this type of study is developed, including population & samples studied; instruments for collection of information from persons and biobanks; storage of data and information systems; management and reporting of findings of health; limitations and advantages of health interventions in cohorts; monitoring of adverse events; data handling; maintenance of the participants and inclusion in the population, and longitudinal data analysis, among others.
COPLAS working hours was attended by Dr. Sergio Lavandero, Director of ACCDiS, the Dra.
