The EPIC II Study

The impact of hospital infection is greatest in the intensive care unit (ICU) and an effective response to the problem relies on the availability of up-to-date, adequate epidemiological data. The EPIC (European Prevalence of Infection in Intensive Care) study was performed on April 29, 1992, and allowed the collection of data from more than 10,000 patients in Western Europe.

EPIC II will be performed on May 8, 2007 , and will be extended worldwide. It will represent a major collaborative initiative resulting in the formation of a large database, which will be useful to address a number of fundamental questions.
