CIC-EC 1410 - Reunion Island
 

Who are we ?

The CIC-EC Reunion Island conducts and manages projects in clinical epidemiology that are made in 3 main research axes: chronic and metabolic diseases, infectious and emerging diseases, and development abnormalities.

Cohort studies with diagnostic, etiologic, and prognostic applications are in construction or currently exploited from samples constituted in hospitals or in general population. These studies serve as a guiding axis for each of the 3 axes for the CIC 2020-2024 research project.

Furthermore, the CIC has developed transversal competences in the implementation of intervention studies in chronic diseases (obesity diabetes,…) prevention, in the development of psychometric studies for measurements of self-perceived health and for the validation of measuring instruments like scale for cross-cultural and linguistic adaptations, and in pharmacoepidemiological analysis and care pathway studies from databases issued from SNIIRAM.

Forming a transversal platform with the CHU methodologic support unit, it also as vocation to transversally support all research projects from CHU, from the university department of general medicine and research performed from medical databases or registries of Reunion Island : cancer registry, epidemiologic and information in nephrology network (REIN), congenital malformations registry, Observatory of preterm child (OGP)

These research works take place in partnership with certified teams (Ministry of Research, Inserm, IRD), the University of Reunion Island, clinical unit of the CHU of Reunion, registers, centers of reference and competence, others regional establishments and institutional partners (Regional Health Agency, Santé Publique France, Biomedicine Agency).
