We herein outline the rationale for a Swedish cohort consortium, aiming to facilitate greater use of Swedish cohorts for world-class research. Coordination of all Swedish prospective population-based cohorts in a common infrastructure would enable more precise research findings and facilitate research on rare exposures and outcomes, leading to better utilization of study participants' data, better return of funders' investments, and higher benefit to patients and populations. We motivate the proposed infrastructure partly by lessons learned from a pilot study encompassing data from 21 cohorts. We envisage a standing Swedish cohort consortium that would drive development of epidemiological research methods and strengthen the Swedish as well as international epidemiological competence, community, and competitiveness.
我们在此概述了瑞典队列联盟的基本原理，旨在促进更多地利用瑞典队列进行世界级的研究。在一个共同的基础设施中协调所有瑞典前瞻性基于人群的队列，将能够得出更精确的研究结果，并促进对罕见暴露和结果的研究，从而更好地利用研究参与者的数据，更好地回报资助者的投资，并使患者和人群受益更多。我们从一个包含 21 个队列数据的试点研究中吸取了部分经验教训，为拟议的基础设施提供了动力。我们设想建立一个常设的瑞典队列联盟，以推动流行病学研究方法的发展，并加强瑞典乃至国际流行病学的能力、社区和竞争力。
