Patient case competition 2025
Concept of the project
Submission period: 01 January 2025 – 31 March 2025
Patient case competition:
- Physicians can submit patient cases over a 3-month period.
- Patient cases that demonstrate the importance of goal-directed therapies in patient blood management (with a focus on the use of fibrinogen).
BeSARPP will organize the project:
(Belgian Society of Anesthesiology, Resuscitation, Perioperative medicine and Pain management)
- Cases will be sent directly to BeSARPP.
- Cases may not contain brand names.
- An independent steering committee will select 2 winners.
- Each winner will receive a grant of € 5 000,00.
- The best case will be presented on the BeSARPP Annual Meeting on 20-21 June.
Objective of the project:
- Increase awareness of the important role of fibrinogen and targeted therapies in patient blood management.
- Exercise for HCPs in reporting and describing a case.
- Content of the patient cases may be used and distributed by CSL Behring through the Bleed Academy website.
Grant:
- The grant can only be used for (pre-)clinical research or educational training.
- CSL Behring must give approval on the (pre-)clinical research/educational training, chosen by the winner, before the grant can be awarded. This approval is required to ensure that the money goes to an educational purpose.
- The grant cannot be disbursed directly to an HCP, but will be disbursed to an HCO.
- CSL Behring provides a sponsorship of € 10 000,00 to BeSARPP to cover the winners’ grant. The decision of winner and payment of the grant to the HCO lies entirely with the BeSARPP.
Important dates:
- Patient case submissions: 1 january 2025 – 31 March 2025. The application consists of the patient case + short CV HCP.
- Period of review by steering committee: 5 April 2025 – 5 May 2025.
Guidelines:
- the submitted patient cases must discuss the treatment of massive bleeding, and demonstrate the importance of goal-directed therapies and protocols in patient blood management (with a focus on the use of fibrinogen).
- the disease area can be multiple (for example but not limited to: PPH, trauma, ICU, surgery, transplant)
- no brand names can be mentioned.
- You may use the ACTA guidelines. More information can be found here.
- Preferably with references: support the course of the case with literature/guidelines
- If possible, with images of test results (viscoelastic test, lab) or tables/figures from the literature
- No minimum number of slides/pages
- Here is also an example of a patient case: https://www.bleedacademy.be/patient-cases/
Note: this case is presented in a question-and-answer format by an external company; it is not intended to send it this way, but to provide the information to create it
