Our Observational Studies
An observational study is a type of research in which investigators observe and measure outcomes in participants without manipulating any variables or assigning specific interventions. Instead of controlling what happens (as in a randomized controlled trial), researchers simply collect data on what naturally occurs. Observational studies can involve watching behaviors, reviewing medical records, tracking exposures, or following groups of people over time to see how certain factors relate to outcomes. Common types include cohort studies, case–control studies, and cross-sectional studies.
Acute Brain Injury Registry
The University of Florida Acute Brain Injury Neuro-ICU databank registry will gather and collect clinical diagnoses and relevant data of all participating subjects admitted to the Neuro-ICU with acute neurological illness, which will serve researchers at UF in future studies involving acute critically ill brain-injured patients.
What Happens to Pain
?: An Observational, Longitudinal Study in Patients with Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Treated in Neurocritical Care Units (WHOL-PAIN)
CARDS Cardiac ARest Database and Surveillance
CARDS is a prospective and retrospective registry of patients with in-hospital and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who were successfully resuscitated, which will serve researchers at UF in future studies involving this population.
