      Research Teams

      MDCalc partners with research teams to transform their academic findings into digital point-of-care clinical tools.
      ACEP ED COVID Management Tool imagery
      ACEP ED COVID Management Tool

      ACEP ED COVID Management Tool - Launched in the early stage of the pandemic, this tool was created by the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) to help determine appropriate management and disposition for COVID-19 patients who are being evaluated in the emergency department. Our team worked closely with Dr. Brian Fengler and the ACEP COVID Workgroup to update our tool as the workgroup released new clinical recommendations.

      Brief Resolved Unexplained Events 2.0 (BRUE 2.0) Criteria for Infants imagery
      Brief Resolved Unexplained Events 2.0 (BRUE 2.0) Criteria for Infants

      Brief Resolved Unexplained Events 2.0 (BRUE 2.0) Criteria for Infants - In 2016, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended a terminology change in clinical practice from Apparent Life Threatening Events (ALTE) to Brief Resolved Unexplained Events (BRUE) when classifying certain clinical events in infants. MDCalc worked with Dr. Joel Tieder and team for both the initial and revised BRUE criteria to ensure clinicians had access to the most updated information.

      Precision Medicine for Cardiomyopathy (PRIMaCY) Score imagery
      Precision Medicine for Cardiomyopathy (PRIMaCY) Score

      Precision Medicine for Cardiomyopathy (PRIMaCY) Score - Launched in 2023, the PRIMaCY score predicts sudden cardiac death (SCD) risk in pediatric patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Dr. Seema Mital, with support from the Ted Rogers Centre for Heart Research and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, developed the PRIMaCY score - and sought MDCalc out to publish the score, ensuring widespread availability to physicians around the world.

      Veterans Health Administration COVID-19 (VACO) Index for COVID-19 Mortality imagery
      Veterans Health Administration COVID-19 (VACO) Index for COVID-19 Mortality

      Veterans Health Administration COVID-19 (VACO) Index for COVID-19 Mortality - a tool to estimate the risk of 30-day mortality after COVID-19 infection using pre-COVID health status. MDCalc closely collaborated with Dr. Amy Justice and her research team at the VA to create both a clinician and patient facing tool to give insights on health after COVID infection.

      Contributors

      MDCalc contributors provide valuable clinical insights that help users go beyond the tools to learn about how best to utilize them at the point-of-care.
